GORDON CONFERENCE--METALS IN BIOLOGY

要求提供资金，以支助与会者参加“世界金属会议”的旅费。 生物学”戈登研究会议将于1994年1月23日至28日在 加州文图拉的双树酒店。这种多学科 会议通常被认为是首要的小型会议 涵盖金属生物化学和生物无机化学领域。 从FASEB主办的关于金属生物学方面的会议演变而来- 约束力在1960年举行，第一次戈登会议上的主题是 自1962年以来一直定期举行。这些会面颇有 是一个展示和讨论前沿研究的论坛 涵盖了金属离子在生物学，生物化学， 和医药这次会议的受欢迎程度导致了如此沉重的过度- 订阅，大量合格的科学家拒绝 接受，时间安排从两年一次改为一年一次 从1987年1月开始。 会议依然 尽管会议更加频繁，但还是超额认购。 会议重点关注的议题包括：（1）金属离子 与DNA和RNA的相互作用。(2)非血红素的作用机制和模型 加氧酶。(3)海洋生物无机化学 (4)膜生物化学 金属离子的转运与信号转导（5）结构与功能 固氮酶家族中金属中心的功能。(6)生物无机 NO：NO合酶和鸟苷酸环化酶化学（7）跨膜氧化还原 中心：细胞色素氧化酶和光合反应中心。 充足 将提供时间进行讨论，并将尽一切努力， 让年轻的研究人员参与到项目中来。

Funds are requested to support travel of participants to the "Metals in Biology" Gordon Research Conference to be held January 23-28, 1994, at the Double Tree Hotel in Ventura, California. This multidisciplinary conference is generally considered to be the premier small meeting covering the fields of metallobiochemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. Evolving from a FASEB-sponsored meeting on Biological Aspects of Metal- Binding held in 1960, the first Gordon Conference on the subject was convened in 1962 and has been held regularly ever since. The meetings have been a forum for the presentation and discussion of forefront research covering all aspects of the roles of metal ions in biology, biochemistry, and medicine. The popularity of this meeting led to such heavy over- subscription, with large numbers of qualified scientists denied acceptance, that the scheduling was changed from biennial to an annual calendar starting in January 1987. Still the meeting remains oversubscribed, despite the more frequent meetings. The topics to be emphasized at the meeting include: (1) Metal ion interactions with DNA and RNA. (2) Mechanisms and Models of Non-heme Oxygenases. (3) Marine Bioinorganic Chemistry. (4) Membrane Biochemistry of Metal Ions: Transport and Signal Transduction (5) Structure and Function of Metal Centers in the Nitrogenase Family. (6) The Bioinorganic Chemistry of NO: NO Synthase and Guanylate Cyclase (7) Transmembrane Redox Centers: Cytochrome Oxidase and Photosynthetic Reaction Centers. Ample time will be provided for discussion and every effort will be made to include young investigators in the program.
