2008 Gordon Research Conference on Protein Folding Dynamics to be held at the Four Points Sheraton Harbortown, Ventura, California from January 6-11, 2008.

这笔资金是为了支持戈登蛋白质折叠动力学研究会议，讨论蛋白质折叠的方法和模型。会议将于2008年1月6日至11日在加利福尼亚州文图拉的Four Points喜来登港口城举行。智力价值：蛋白质折叠是一个多学科研究领域，涉及生物学中的基本问题之一。技术和理论的进步改变了我们对蛋白质折叠发生方式的看法。活动的更广泛影响：戈登蛋白质折叠动力学研究会议是一个相对较新的会议，专门将实验和理论结合在一起来探索该领域的进展，并作为一个论坛来讨论从多肽能量学和动力学到伴侣辅助折叠的基本问题。此外，它还支持一些青年科学家出席和参与会议。将优先考虑来自代表性较差的机构和/或研究小组的学生，让这些年轻人有机会参加会议并为会议作出贡献。

The funding is to support the Gordon Research Conference on Protein Folding Dynamics addressing the methods and models of protein folding. The meeting will take place at the Four Points Sheraton Harbortown, Ventura, California from January 6-11, 2008.Intellectual Merit: Protein folding is a multidisciplinary area of research addressing one of the fundamental problems in biology. Technological and theoretical advances have altered our view of how protein folding occurs. Broader Impact of the Activity: The Gordon Research Conference in Protein Folding Dynamics, is a relatively new conference, set up to specifically bring experiment and theory together to explore advances in the field, and as a forum to discuss fundamental problems from polypeptide energetics and dynamics; to chaperone assisted folding. Additionally, it supports a number of young scientists to attend and participate in the meeting. The priority will be given to students from less well-represented institutions and/or research groups to give these young people the opportunity to participate and contribute to the meeting.
