9600433 Gaffney This grant will provide partial support for the XVIIth International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (ICMRBS), to be held in Keystone Colorado, August 18-23, 1996. The meeting will focus on a broad range of magnetic resonance methods as applied to studies of biological processes. This biennial meeting has become the major venue for discussion of advances in NMR studies of the high resolution structure and dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids and of the role of magnetic resonance (both NMR and EPR) in structural biology. NMR studies of protein structure often rival those by x-ray crystallography, but NMR also provides unique information on the dynamics of macromolecules - an area that will be emphasized in the scientific program. In vivo NMR spectroscopic and imaging results to be presented will shed light on metabolic processes and on their cellular ramifications. Other sessions will cover new magnetic resonance methods, advances in magnet design, and improvements in instrumentation for spectroscopy and imaging. Considerable effort has been made to plan symposia in such a way as to stimulate cross-fertilization of ideas among the communities expert in high resolution NMR, solid state NMR, EPR, in vivo spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. The conference is built around 12 plenary lectures and 27 parallel sessions with a total of 81 invited talks and 27 short contributions selected from poster abstracts. Three poster sessions of up to 200 posters each round out the program. The funds provided by NSF will provide partial support for travel of 75 younger scientists (graduate students, postdoctorals, beginning faculty). Funds are also being sought from industry and other government agencies. By permitting more younger scientists to attend, the grant will be particularly beneficial in promoting the active participation of female and, to some extent, minority investigators, who tend to be disproportionately represented in the younger gro up. %%%

9600433加夫尼这笔赠款将提供部分支持第十七届国际会议磁共振在生物系统（ICMRBS），将在基斯通科罗拉多，1996年8月18日至23日举行。 会议将集中讨论广泛的磁共振方法，应用于生物过程的研究。 这个两年一次的会议已成为讨论核磁共振研究进展的主要场所，高分辨率结构和蛋白质和核酸的动力学，以及磁共振（核磁共振和EPR）在结构生物学中的作用。 NMR对蛋白质结构的研究通常与X射线晶体学相媲美，但NMR还提供了关于大分子动力学的独特信息-这是科学计划中将强调的一个领域。 在体内核磁共振光谱和成像结果将阐明代谢过程及其细胞分支。 其他会议将涵盖新的磁共振方法，在磁铁设计的进步，并在光谱和成像仪器的改进。 已作出相当大的努力来规划专题讨论会，以促进高分辨率核磁共振、固态核磁共振、EPR、体内光谱学和磁共振成像领域的社区专家之间的思想交流。 会议围绕12个全体讲座和27个平行会议，共有81个特邀演讲和27个从海报摘要中选出的简短贡献。 三个海报会议多达200张海报，每轮的计划。 NSF提供的资金将为75名年轻科学家（研究生，博士后，初任教师）的旅行提供部分支持。 还在向工业界和其他政府机构寻求资金。 通过允许更多的年轻科学家参加，赠款将特别有利于促进女性和在某种程度上少数民族研究人员的积极参与，因为他们在年轻群体中的代表性往往不成比例。 %%%
