DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 6th annual Johns Hopkins Folding Meeting will be held 17-20 March 2001 at the Coolfont Conference Center, located about 2 hours from Baltimore and Washington in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. This meeting has attracted an international roster of participants representing the most prominent labs engaged in protein folding research. Efforts to understand RNA folding have made substantial progress in recent years and, to a large extent, RNA and protein folding share a common conceptual framework. There has been no effort to engage protein and RNA folding labs in sustained conversation, though the recent experience among labs at Johns Hopkins is that such dialog is mutually beneficial. For the 2001 and future meetings, discussion of RNA folding will be integrated into each session of the meeting. Five sessions of four speakers each are planned for 2001, on the topics of electrostatics, folding reaction pathways, dynamics, prediction and design, and folding problems posed by large complexes. In selecting participants for the meeting, Dr. Lattman will try to obtain representation from as many labs as possible and maintain a balance between junior and senior investigators, US and foreign participants, different experimental and theoretical approaches, and RNA vs. protein. Dr. Lattman anticipates approximately one quarter of the participants will be engaged in RNA-related research.

描述（由申请人提供）：第六届年度约翰霍普金斯折叠 会议将于2001年3月17日至20日在Coolfont会议中心举行， 距离巴尔的摩和华盛顿约2小时车程，位于西伯克利斯普林斯。 弗吉尼亚这次会议吸引了国际与会者 代表了从事蛋白质折叠研究的最著名的实验室。 近年来，理解RNA折叠的努力取得了实质性进展。 在很大程度上，RNA和蛋白质折叠有着共同的概念， 框架.目前还没有尝试让蛋白质和RNA折叠实验室参与其中， 持续的对话，虽然最近在约翰实验室的经验， 霍普金斯认为，这种对话是互利的。2001年及未来 会议上，RNA折叠的讨论将被整合到每一个会议上， 会议计划在2001年举行五届会议，每届四名发言者， 静电学、折叠反应途径、动力学、预测和 设计，以及大型复合体带来的折叠问题。 在选择与会者时，Lattman博士将努力获得 代表尽可能多的实验室，并保持平衡 初级和高级研究人员，美国和外国参与者，不同的 实验和理论方法，以及RNA与蛋白质。莱特曼医生 预计大约四分之一的参与者将从事 RNA相关研究
