FASEB Conference: Virus Assembly Being Held at Vermont Academy, Saxton River, Vermont, June 22-27, 1996

9514329请亨德里克斯为1996年6月22日至6月27日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河佛蒙特学院举行的题为“病毒大会”的会议提供支持，该会议由美国实验生物学学会联合会主办。这次会议的目的是将致力于细菌、植物、动物和人类病毒的病毒组装和结构(包括与病毒进入细胞相关的初始分解步骤)的所有方面的科学家聚集在一起。其目的是鼓励交流关于病毒组装和结构的想法和假设，跨越通常的分类障碍，并促进利用各种不同的实验方法，包括生物化学和遗传学方法以及X射线结晶学、电子显微镜和图像重建，传播关于各种不同病毒的结果。除了1990年、1992年和1994年举行的关于病毒组装和结构问题的前两次会议外，没有其他跨病毒分类组的会议完全致力于病毒组装和结构问题。本系列之前的会议非常成功，取得了理想的沟通效果。鉴于这一领域目前的进展速度，1996年的FASEB会议似乎将是正在进行的关于病毒组装和结构专题的一系列会议中的第四次会议。将组成部分组装成完整的病毒是当前密集研究的一个领域。这项工作的许多方面都涉及结构和生物学特征，以及病毒进入细胞时发生的拆解/重新组装过程。为了汇集这些领域的最新成果，本次会议将包括大多数积极从事这项研究的科学家。这次会议将使人们对病毒组装的过程有更多的了解。***

9514329 Hendrix Partical support is requested for a conference entitled "Virus Assembly" to be held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) from June 22 to June 27, 1996, at theVermont Academy, Saxtons River, Vermont. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientists working on all aspects of virus assembly and structure (including the initial disassembly steps associated with viral entry into cells) for bacterial, plant, animal and human viruses. The intention is to encourage communication of ideas and hypotheses about virus assembly and structure, across the usual taxonomic barriers, and to promote dissemination of results obtained with a variety of different viruses using a variety of different experimental approaches, including biochemical and genetic methods as well as X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and image reconstruction. There are no other confereces devoted entirely to problems of virus assembly and structure, across the viral taxonomic groups, except the previous two FASEB conferences on this topic held in 1990, 1992 and 1994. The previous conferences in this series were enormously successful and achieved the kind of communication desired. It seems likely, given the current rate of progress in this field, that the FASEB conference of 1996 will be the fourth in an ongoing series of conferences on the topic of virus assembly and structure. %%% The assembly of component parts into complete viruses is an area of intensive current study. Many aspects of this work involve both structural and biological features, and the disassembly/reassembly processes that occur when viruses enter cells. In order to bring together the latest results in these areas this conference will include most of the scientists actively engaged in this research. The conference will lead to greater understanding of the processes of viral assembly. ***
