FASEB: Summer Research Conference Folate, B12, and One-Carbon Metabolism to be held from August 1-6, 1998 at Snowmass Village, Colorado

9870803本奖项为美国实验生物学联合会(FASE B)主办的第七届FASE B夏季叶酸、维生素B12和一碳代谢研究会议提供部分支持，该会议将于1998年8月1日至8月6日在科罗拉多州的斯诺马斯村举行。这次会议为基础科学家和对叶酸、维生素B12和一碳代谢感兴趣的广泛学科的科学政策参与者提供了一个独特的机会，可以进行正式和非正式的互动。最近的五次会议已经全部认购完毕，本次会议的参会人数将限制为180人。这一奖项将使研究生和博士后研究员能够参加会议。该项目包括知名科学家和刚刚进入该领域的科学家。这些主题包括最复杂的生化和生物物理研究领域。课程主题包括一碳代谢的酶学和调节；同型半胱氨酸的代谢和调节；蛋氨酸和叶酸辅助因子的合成/调节；甲基转移和DNA修复；叶酸和维生素B12的细胞和上皮运输；以及叶酸依赖的酶反应。除了正式的演示外，该计划还将与海报会议和研讨会相辅相成。这些会议提供了许多非正式讨论的机会，并允许研究生和博士后研究员以及知名科学家有机会介绍和讨论他们的工作。与过去一样，在会议上提出的最有趣的新研究将以一种或多种“最先进的”评论的形式在FASEB期刊上传播给更广泛的受众。

9870803ApplingThis award provides partial support of the Seventh FASEB Summer Research Conference on Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 and One Carbon Metabolism, to be held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) from August 1-August 6, 1998 at Snowmass Village, Colorado. This conference offers a unique opportunity for basic scientists and those involved in science policy from a broad group of disciplines with an interest in folic acid, vitamin B12 and one-carbon metabolism, to interact both formally and informally. The last five conferences have been fully subscribed and participation at this conference will be limited to 180 individuals. This award will enable graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the meeting. The program includes well-established scientists along with those just entering the field. The topics include areas of the most sophisticated biochemical and biophysical research. Session topics include the enzymology and regulation of one-carbon metabolism; homocysteine metabolism and regulation; methionine and folate cofactor synthesis/regulation; methyl transfer and DNA repair; cellular and epithelial transport of folate and vitamin B12; and folate dependent enzyme reactions. In addition to the formal presentations, the program will be complemented with poster sessions and workshops. These offer many opportunities for informal discussions and allow graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as established scientists, an opportunity to present and discuss their work. As in the past, the most interesting new research presented at the conference will be disseminated to a much wider audience in the form of one or more "state-of-the-art" reviews in the FASEB Journal.
