FASEB Conference: Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes held on July 19-24, 1997, at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont.

9605206 Rothman-Denes该项目是为1997年FASEB夏季会议“原核生物转录起始”提供部分资金，该会议将于1997年7月19日至24日在佛蒙特州萨克顿河的佛蒙特学院举行，由美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）赞助。 将有十个口头会议，平均每节三个30分钟的演讲和两个15分钟的演讲，以及两个海报会议，每个持续两天。 已邀请了32名发言者，将从提交摘要的与会者中再选出12名发言者。 会议的目的是将生物化学家，生物制药学家和遗传学家聚集在一起，分享关于调节所有细胞中信息流动的关键步骤的信息：转录起始。 这个快速发展的领域正在提供分子水平上的结构和机制的信息。 在口头会议上讨论的具体议题是DNA依赖的RNA聚合酶的结构，物理和化学方法来研究蛋白质-蛋白质和蛋白质-DNA相互作用的转录，启动子识别，在古细菌和嗜热细菌的转录起始，转录起始和启动子逃逸的生物化学，负和正控制的机制，和复杂系统中的转录控制。 ***

9605206 Rothman-Denes This project is for partial funding for the 1997 FASEB Summer Conference on "Transcription Initiation in Prokaryotes" to be held July 19-24, 1997, at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont, under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). There will be ten oral sessions with, on average, three 30 minute talks and two 15 minute talks per session, and two poster sessions, each lasting two days. Thirty-two speakers have been invited and twelve additional speakers will be selected from participants who submitted abstracts. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together biochemists, biophysicists and geneticists to share information on a crucial step that regulates the flow of information in all cells: transcription initiation. The rapidly progressing field is providing information on structure and mechanisms at the molecular level. The specific topics to be discussed in the oral sessions are structure of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, physical and chemical approaches to study protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions in transcription, promoter recognition, transcription initiation in archae and thermophilic bacteria, biochemistry of transcription initiation and promoter escape, mechanisms of negative and positive control, and control of transcription in complex systems. ***
