Fast Processes in Protein Folding Dynamics Workshop: March 1992, Puerto Rico

Ralph Roskies和Michael Levine组织了一个关于快速的研讨会， 蛋白质折叠动力学过程。 了解蛋白质如何 折叠是当今生物学的核心挑战之一。 只 最近，随着先进计算方法的出现， 模拟蛋白质折叠的动力学是可能的。 到 在生物学中应用理论和计算方法， 在实验中必不可少的联系;今天，技术限制 在于理论、模拟和实验的相互联系。 讲习班的结构将制定新的办法， 问题或挑战， 不同的学科，他们通常不会参加同一个 会议，通过在会议之前制定种子问题， 在整个会议过程中集中讨论， 在每一次重大会议之后留出具体的小组会议， 会谈允许公开和广泛的讨论的可能性， 困难 这次会议将有助于为一个 来自多个学科的多元化科学家社区。

Ralph Roskies and Michael Levine have organized a workshop on Fast Processes in Protein Folding Dynamics. Understanding how proteins fold is one of the central challenges in biology today. Only recently, with the advent of advanced computational methods, has it been possible to simulate the dynamics of protein folding. To apply theoretical and computational approaches in biology it is essential to link in experimentation; today, technical limitations lie in the way of interlinking theory, simulation, and experiment. The workshop will be structure to develop new approaches to central questions or challenges by bringing together scientists from different disciplines who would ordinarily not attend the same meeting, by developing seed questions in advance of the meeting to focus the discussion throughout the course of the meeting, by setting aside specific panel sessions following each major set of talks to allow open and extensive discussion of possibilities and difficulties. The meeting will help set a research agenda for a diverse community of scientist drawn from several disciplines.
