1996 International Conference on Oxygen Intermediates in Nonheme Metallobiochemistry

明尼苏达大学双子城分校化学系玛丽安·斯坦科维奇博士在化学系无机、生物无机和有机金属项目的支持下，使研究生能够参加1996年6月23-27日在明尼苏达大学举行的“非血红素金属化学中氧中间体国际会议”。这次会议将是第一次专门讨论非血红素生物系统的氧中间体及其无机模型的国际会议。非血红素蛋白和酶在环境解毒、合成脱氧核糖核苷酸、哺乳动物代谢中氨基酸的合成和相互转化、保护生物免受活性氧物种的伤害以及氧运输等多种功能中发挥着关键作用。这次会议将为从事涉及金属离子在生物系统中作用的重要化学领域工作的研究生和教职员工提供一个机会，分享他们在该领域的成果和经验。对这些系统的基本了解很重要，因为这些蛋白质和酶在环境解毒和哺乳动物新陈代谢等不同功能中发挥着关键作用，这些功能直接或间接地通过对环境的影响影响人类的健康和衰老。

Dr. Marian Stankovich, Department of Chemistry, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Program of the Chemistry Division to enable graduate students to attend the `International Conference on Oxygen Intermediates in Nonheme Metallobiochemistry` at the University of Minnesota on June 23-27, 1996. The conference will be the first international gathering to deal exclusively with the topic of oxygen intermediates of nonheme biological systems and their inorganic models. Nonheme proteins and enzymes play key roles in such diverse functions as environmental detoxification, synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides, synthesis and interconversion of amino acids in mammalian metabolism, protection of organisms from damage by activated oxygen species, and oxygen transport. This conference will provide an opportunity for graduate students and faculty, working in an important area of chemistry involving the function of metal ions in biological systems, to share their results and experiences in the field. A fundamental understanding of these systems is important because these proteins and enzymes play key roles in diverse functions such as environmental detoxification and mammalian metabolism, which impact human health and aging, either directly or indirectly, through their impact on the environment.
