9600464 Mackie The 1996 FASEB Summer Research Conference on the Mechanisms of Maturation, Function and Decay in the Prokaryotic RNA World will be held at Copper Mountain, Colorado, June 30 - July 5, 1996. The principal aim of this conference is to encourage the participants who are investigating biological roles of RNAs in diverse prokaryotic organisms to address the key mechanistic and structure- function questions which will dominate the field in the coming years. The focus on mechanistic and structure-function problems is essential if the specific biological processes mediated by RNA-RNA and RNA protein interactions are to be thoroughly understood. %%% The meeting focus is timely in view of the immense diversity and current relevance of prokaryotic organisms as paradigms for translation, RNA processing, modification and decay, and their regulation. Moreover, recent advances in elucidating the structures of RNA and RNA-protein complexes by biophysical techniques are paralleling the rapid pace of purifying the enzymes and substrates involved in RNA maturation, translation and decay. Accordingly, presentations and discussions at the conference will focus on RNA-RNA and RNA- protein interactions, formulation of mechanistic questions, and the development of new experimental approaches to understanding the structural basis for the biological functions of these interactions. In turn, this conference will serve to spur future mechanism-centered experimentation on these diverse systems. Attendance at the conference will be limited to 155 participants. The speakers will be invited from among the most productive and innovative individuals in the field. Time has also been allotted to permit several selected outstanding younger scientists including junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows and senior graduate students to give oral presentations. The format at this conference has been chosen to allow a good balance between the two 3 hour oral sessions eac h day and free afternoon time for discussions and posters. Moreover, each participant is expected to attend the entire conference. The organizers are encouraging speakers to avoid presentations of previously published work but to focus on ongoing research, problem areas, and emerging models. It is the expectation of the organizers that this theme will encourage provocative presentations, lively discussion and will accordingly focus each participant's future research. ***

1996年FASEB夏季研究会议将于1996年6月30日至7月5日在科罗拉多的铜山举行。 本次会议的主要目的是鼓励正在研究RNA在各种原核生物中的生物学作用的参与者解决未来几年将主导该领域的关键机制和结构-功能问题。 如果要彻底理解由RNA-RNA和RNA蛋白质相互作用介导的特定生物过程，则对机制和结构-功能问题的关注是必不可少的。 鉴于原核生物作为翻译、RNA加工、修饰和衰变及其调控的范例的巨大多样性和当前的相关性，会议的重点是及时的。此外，最近的进展阐明的RNA和RNA-蛋白质复合物的结构的生物物理技术是平行的快速步伐纯化的酶和底物参与RNA的成熟，翻译和衰变。因此，会议上的演讲和讨论将集中在RNA-RNA和RNA-蛋白质相互作用，机制问题的制定，以及新的实验方法的发展，以了解这些相互作用的生物学功能的结构基础。反过来，这次会议将有助于刺激未来以这些不同系统为中心的机制实验。出席会议的人数将限于155人。演讲者将从该领域最具生产力和创新精神的个人中邀请。还分配了时间，允许一些选定的优秀年轻科学家，包括初级教师，博士后研究员和高年级研究生进行口头报告。本次会议的形式已经选择，以允许两个3小时的口头会议，每天和自由下午的时间进行讨论和海报之间的良好平衡。此外，每个与会者都应出席整个会议。组织者鼓励演讲者避免介绍以前发表的工作，而是专注于正在进行的研究，问题领域和新兴模型。组织者期望这一主题将鼓励挑衅性的演讲，热烈的讨论，并相应地关注每个参与者未来的研究。 ***
