2009 Enzymes, Co-enzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Conference to be held July 5-10, 2009 in Waterville, New Hampshire

2009年酶、辅酶和代谢途径戈登研究会议将于2009年7月5日至10日在新罕布夏州沃特维尔的沃特维尔山谷度假村举行。这次会议将汇聚研究酶反应、酶的作用原理、酶的从头设计和发现以及参与其中的生物学途径的学术、工业和政府领域的顶尖科学家。这项研究是高度跨学科的，使用了生物学、生物化学、化学、物理学、生物物理学、工程学和计算机科学的工具。该计划包括在该领域的前沿与领先的高级和年轻的调查人员的良好平衡的主要主题。目前尚未公布的成果将通过举办讲座和张贴海报以及非正式讨论的方式传播，并已分配了充足的时间进行讨论。尖端成果和思维的有效共享将加快催化剂设计、生物能源和代谢工程的研究步伐。更广泛的影响。会议将促进酶和代谢途径领域的专业联系和增强多样性。已作出特别努力，鼓励妇女和任职人数不足的科学家以及来自较小学院和大学的调查人员参加，其中许多人是会议领导人和发言者。许多与会者将是博士生和博士后学者，他们将有机会与杰出的科学家互动，以促进他们的成长和发展。

The 2009 Enzymes, Co-enzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Conference will be held at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville, New Hampshire from July 5-10th, 2009. This conference will bring together leading academic, industrial, and government scientists who study enzyme reactions, the principles by which enzymes function, their de novo design and discovery, and the biological pathways in which they participate. The research is highly interdisciplinary, using the tools of biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, biophysics, engineering, and computer science. The program includes major topics at the frontier of the field with an excellent balance of leading senior and younger investigators. Current, unpublished results will be disseminated by the presentation of lectures and posters and by informal discussions, to which ample time has been allocated. The efficient sharing of cutting-edge results and thinking will accelerate the pace of research toward catalyst design, bioenergy, and metabolic engineering. Broader Impact. The meeting will foster professional networking and enhanced diversity in the field of enzymology and metabolic pathways. Special efforts have been made to encourage the participation of women and underrepresented scientists as well as investigators from smaller colleges and universities, many of whom are included among the session leaders and speakers. An impressive number of the attendees will be Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars who will have opportunities to interact with prominent scientists to enhance their growth and development.
