Bioinorganic Chemistry Winter School, Madras, India, December 9-15, 1990, Group Travel Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies.

描述：该项目支持八名美国科学家参加将于1990年12月9日至15日在印度马德拉斯举行的“生物无机化学”研讨会和研讨会。印度组委会由马德拉斯印度理工学院的P.T.Monaharan博士担任主席。预计将有来自英国、FRG和苏联的几位与会者参加。讨论的主题将包括：金属离子在生物学中的作用；反应机制；含金属离子体系的光学、磁性和催化性质；蛋白质、酶、离子传输；含锌、钴的酶；维生素B12和B12辅酶；铁血红素蛋白；加氧酶、过氧化物酶、催化剂、细胞色素；叶绿素与光合作用；非血红素铁蛋白；铁转移、电子转移、电子传递蛋白；钼蛋白与固氮；固氮酶、黄嘌呤氧化酶、脱氢酶、亚硫酸乙醛氧化酶；铜蛋白；含金属部位模型体系的构建及其在医学上的应用。范围：车间区域是化学的一个重要分支学科，在发达国家越来越受到重视，但对发展中国家来说是相对较新的学科。印度政府科技部正试图通过赞助这一讲习班，部分地激发人们的兴趣，增加这一领域的教育和研究活动。有潜力在这一领域工作的印度青年研究人员将通过讲座和讨论会接触印度资深科学家和该领域的世界领导人，并与他们互动。美方将从与欧洲和印度科学家的互动中受益，并从印度寻找潜在的合作者。

Description: This project supports participation by eight U.S. scientists in a seminar and workshop on " Bioinorganic Chemistry" to be held in Madras, India, December 9 to 15, 1990. The Indian organizing committee is chaired by Dr.P.T. Monaharan of The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Madras. Several participants are expected from the U.K., the FRG, and the U.S.S.R. The topics to be covered will include: the role of metal ions in biology; reaction mechanisms; optical, magnetic and catalytic properties of metal-ion containing systems; proteins, enzymes, ion transport; enzymes containing zinc, cobalt; vitamin B12 and B12 coenzymes; iron heme proteins; oxygenases, peroxidases, catalyses, cytochromes; chlorophylls and photosynthesis; non-heme iron proteins; iron transfer, electro transfer, electron transport proteins; molybdenum proteins and nitrogen fixation; nitrogenase, xanthine oxidases, dehydrogenases, sulphite aldehyde oxidases; copper proteins; construction of model system metal-containing sites; and applications in medicine. Scope: The area of the workshop is an important subdiscipline of chemistry which is gaining increasing attention in the developed countries but which is relatively new to developing countries. The Government of India, Department of Science and Technology is attempting to stimulate interest and to increase education and research activities in the field partially through the sponsoring of this workshop. Indian young researchers with potential for work in this area will be exposed to and will interact with senior Indian scientists and world leaders in the field through lectures and discussion sessions. The U.S. side will benefit by the interaction with European and Indian scientists and by identifying potential collaborators from India.
