12th International Symposium on Flavins and Flavoproteins tobe held June 30 - July 6, 1996 at the University of Calgary,Calgary, Canada

9514225 Jorns黄素和黄素蛋白的范围很广，但定义明确而简单。 它涵盖了与基于异咯嗪核和非常密切相关的结构的化合物的化学和生物学有关的工作的所有方面。 由于黄素作为辅基的非凡多功能性及其参与各种重要的生物氧化和还原过程，该领域继续迅速扩大。 对黄素的兴趣从理论化学到医学方面都有。 第12届黄素和黄素蛋白国际研讨会将于1996年6月30日至7月6日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里市卡尔加里大学举行。 由于这一领域的研究步伐不断加快，定期举行会议十分重要。 审查讲座将涵盖整个领域，会议应汇集来自世界各地的科学家，从各种学科，并促进有价值的讨论和信息交流。 此外，它还应有助于使现有工作人员充分了解这一主题的所有方面，并促使年轻的研究人员进入这一重要的研究领域。

9514225 Jorns The area of flavins and flavoproteins is a broad, but clearly and simply defined one. It covers all aspects of work pertaining to the chemistry and biology of compounds based on the isoalloxazine nucleus and on very closely related structures. Because of the extraordinary versatility of flavin as a prosthetic group and its involvement in a variety of important biological oxidation and reduction processes, this area continues to expand rapidly. Interest in flavins ranges from theoretical chemistry to medical aspects. The 12th International Symposium on flavins and Flavoproteins is to be held at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, June 30-July 6, 1996, as one of a series which has been organized at 3-year intervals since 1965, The last symposium was held in Nagoya, Japan in 1993. Because of the continued and increasing pace of research in this area, it is important that regularly scheduled meetings be held. Review lectures will cover the entire field and the meeting should bring together scientists from all over the world from a wide variety of disciplines, and promote valuable discussion and exchange of information. In addition, it should serve the purposes of keeping existing workers fully up to date with all aspects of the subject and of initiating young investigators into this important area of research.
