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.
