9600055 Heitman The subject of this conference is the structure, mechanism, biological roles and practical applications of enzymes that act on DNA and RNA. Included are both protein and RNA enzymes that act on nucleic acids. While focused on cleavage and modification of nucleic acids, the meeting is designed to attract a broad cross-disciplinary spectrum of scientists from the U.S. and abroad. These include chemists biochemists, structural and molecular biologists, geneticists and cell biologists. This meeting will be the second meeting of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) in this general topic area, the last having been held in 1993. Since then, there has been an explosion in our understanding of the structure, mechanism and regulatory potential of these molecules. The upcoming FASEB meeting is therefore both timely and topical. The organizers have selected discussion leaders for the 9 sessions, in addition to the keynote speaker for an additional session. Speakers range from Nobel prize-winners at the forefront of their fields to accomplished young scientists destined to make inroads in their specialty areas. The topics to be covered at the meeting are as follows: Nuclease Structure and Function; Modifying Enzymes - Biochemistry and Genetics; Restriction Systems; Synthetic Enzymes; Endonucleases of Mobile Elements; Endonucleases in Recombination and Repair; Catalysis of and by RNA; Biological Roles of Nucleic Acid Modifications; and Nucleases in Genome Research. Additionally, there will be a poster competition which will give students and post docs with winning posters the opportunity to present a talk. Although specialty meetings are held in the different program areas, this particular interdisciplinary mix of topics is unprecedented, and promises a unique opportunity for fertile scientific exchange between scientists with interests in both basic research and biotechnology %%% Nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, are the molecules of life. DNA forms the genetic material, the blueprint of each living cell. Messages are sent from the DNA to the cell via RNA. Biological catalysts called enzymes are required for the DNA to be duplicated, copied into RNA, and modified to perform the cellular functions in an orderly and coherent way. The enzymes that act on nucleic acids, the pivotal molecules in cellular information flow, form the topic of this meeting. Confirmed speakers include a broad cross-disciplinary spectrum of scientists from the US and abroad. These scientists are at the forefront of their field, be they Nobel laureates (of which there are two on the program) or accomplished young researchers, starting to make breakthroughs in their specialty areas. To promote the careers of young scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will be selected at the meeting to also give platform talks. In addition, poster sessions will accommodate work that cannot be included in the platform presentations, thereby broadening the scope of the meeting. The interdisciplinary mix of scientists at the meeting will include chemists, biochemists, structural and molecular biologists, geneticists and cell biologists from academic, government and industrial settings. The meeting, which is sponsored by the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB), therefore promises a unique opportunity for fertile scientific exchange between scientific exchange between scientists with a broad range of interests in both basic research and biotechnology. ***

9600055 Heitman 本次会议的主题是作用于DNA和RNA的酶的结构、机制、生物学作用和实际应用。 其中包括作用于核酸的蛋白质酶和RNA酶。 这次会议的重点是核酸的裂解和修饰，旨在吸引来自美国和国外的广泛的跨学科科学家。 其中包括化学家、生物化学家、结构和分子生物学家、遗传学家和细胞生物学家。 本次会议将是美国实验生物学会联合会 (FASEB) 在这一一般主题领域举行的第二次会议，上一次会议于 1993 年举行。从那时起，我们对这些分子的结构、机制和调控潜力的理解出现了爆炸性的增长。 因此，即将召开的 FASEB 会议既及时又具有话题性。组织者选出了 9 场会议的讨论领袖，以及另外一场会议的主讲人。 演讲者既有各自领域最前沿的诺贝尔奖获得者，也有注定要在各自专业领域取得进展的杰出年轻科学家。 会议讨论的主题如下：核酸酶的结构和功能；修饰酶——生物化学和遗传学；限制系统；合成酶；移动元件的核酸内切酶；重组和修复中的核酸内切酶； RNA 的催化作用；核酸修饰的生物学作用；和基因组研究中的核酸酶。 此外，还将举办海报比赛，为获奖海报的学生和博士后提供演讲的机会。 虽然专业会议在不同的项目领域举行，但这种特殊的跨学科主题组合是前所未有的，并为对基础研究和生物技术感兴趣的科学家之间提供了丰富的科学交流的独特机会%%%核酸、DNA和RNA是生命的分子。 DNA 形成遗传物质，即每个活细胞的蓝图。 信息通过 RNA 从 DNA 发送到细胞。 DNA 需要被称为酶的生物催化剂来复制、复制成 RNA 并进行修饰，以有序、连贯的方式执行细胞功能。 作用于核酸（细胞信息流中的关键分子）的酶构成了本次会议的主题。 已确认的演讲者包括来自美国和国外的广泛跨学科科学家。 这些科学家处于各自领域的最前沿，无论是诺贝尔奖获得者（该计划中有两名）还是颇有成就的年轻研究人员，开始在各自的专业领域取得突破。 为了促进青年科学家的职业生涯，会议还将选拔研究生和博士后进行平台演讲。 此外，海报会议将容纳平台演示中无法包含的工作，从而扩大会议范围。 参加会议的跨学科科学家将包括来自学术界、政府和工业界的化学家、生物化学家、结构和分子生物学家、遗传学家和细胞生物学家。 因此，这次会议由美国实验生物学会联合会 (FASEB) 主办，为对基础研究和生物技术具有广泛兴趣的科学家之间的科学交流提供了一个独特的机会。 ***
