Gordon Research Conference on Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR to be held May 6-11, 2001 in Barga, Italy

这笔赠款为2001年5月6日至11日在意大利巴尔加的“Il Ciocco”会议中心举行的2001年戈登生物分子核磁共振计算方面研究会议提供了部分支持。会议主席是DavidCase博士和Michael Nilges博士。会议的目的是聚集在生物分子核磁共振前沿工作的科学家，促进前沿和出版前工作的自由交流，并确定利用计算来解决该领域难题的方向。戈登会议提供了一种传播信息和思想的宝贵手段，这种方式是通过通常的交流渠道--即在大型科学会议上发表出版物和演讲--无法实现的。这次会议是计划举行的两年一次的会议的第二次。计算在生物分子核磁共振的几乎每一个方面都发挥着关键作用，从数据获取和分析到结构确定。为了反映这一领域的全面情况，一批从事实验和计算的科学家组成了广泛的多国代表。会议的中心主题将是实验、理论和计算的相互依存，以及计算对推进生物分子核磁共振前沿的贡献。会议将致力于结构和动力学信息的新来源，计算机辅助分配，动态无序和结构异质性的治疗，分子间相互作用和药物发现，以及核磁共振和结构基因组学。

Case, DavidMCB-0090186This grant provides partial support for the 2001 Gordon ResearchConference on Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR, to be held May 6-11, 2001, at theconference center "Il Ciocco", in Barga, Italy. The conference chairs are Drs. DavidCase and Michael Nilges. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientistsworking at the forefront of biomolecular NMR, to foster the free exchange of cutting-edge,pre-publication work, and to establish directions for exploiting computation to solvedifficult problems in the field. Gordon Conferences provide a valuable means ofdisseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usualchannels of communication, that is, publications and presentations at large scientificmeetings. This meeting is the second of what is intended to be a biannual conference.Computation plays a crucial role in virtually every aspect of biomolecular NMR, from dataacquisition and analysis to structure determination. In order to reflect the full breadthof the field, a broad, multinational representation of scientists engaged in bothexperiment and computation has been assembled. Central themes of the conference will bethe interdependence of experiment, theory, and computation, and the contributions thatcomputation can make to advancing the frontiers of biomolecular NMR. Sessions will bedevoted to new sources of structural and dynamical information, computer-aided assignment,treatment of dynamic disorder and structural heterogeneity, intermolecular interaction anddrug discovery, and NMR and structural genomics.
