DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Congress will be the fourteenth in a continuing series of International Flavin Symposia, held every three years. The most recent conference was held in Konstanz Germany on August 29-September 4, 1999. The meeting for which funding is requested will be held from July 14-18, 2002 in St. John's College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK. These meetings offer an opportunity for students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior researchers to hold intensive discussions on current research in flavins and flavoproteins, and to present their own work in posters and talks. The Proceedings are published as a symposium volume which provides a useful reference for all participants. Sessions are planned on the following topics: New structures and mechanistic implication of simple flavoproteins; Electron transfer in complex flavoprotein systems; Flavins:light and biology; and New families--catalysis based on the fumarate reductase framework. Plenary lectures will be presented by Maria Vanoni (structure-function studies of glutamate synthases), Denis Stuehr (The NO synthase flavorptoein-kinetic and strucural studies to reveal its unique mechanisms of regulation), Sunny Xie (Single-molecule studies of flavoenzymes), and Gary Cecchini (Structural insights into the function and physiology of complex II). In addition, a session has been reserved for presentations to be selected from posters presented at the meeting. The afternoons are reserved for poster sessions, to ensure maximal interaction at these sessions, which have been traditionally very popular with participants. Tea will be served at each poster session. Presentations were selected by an International Organizing Committee with an eye to a diverse representation of speakers at the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次大会将是第十四届国际黄素研讨会，每三年举行一次连续系列。最近一次会议于1999年8月29日至9月4日在德国康斯坦茨举行。申请资助的会议将于2002年7月14日至18日在联合王国剑桥的剑桥大学圣约翰学院举行。这些会议为学生，博士后研究员和高级研究人员提供了一个机会，就黄素和黄素蛋白的当前研究进行深入讨论，并在海报和演讲中展示自己的工作。会议记录作为专题讨论会文集出版，为所有与会者提供有用的参考。会议计划就以下主题：简单黄素蛋白的新结构和机械含义;复杂黄素蛋白系统中的电子转移;黄素：光和生物学;以及新家族----基于延胡索酸还原酶框架的催化。全体讲座将由Maria Vanoni（谷氨酸脱氢酶的结构-功能研究），Denis Stuehr（NO合酶flavorptoein动力学和结构研究，以揭示其独特的调节机制），Sunny Xie（黄素酶的单分子研究）和加里Cecchini（复合物II的功能和生理结构见解）发表。此外，还为从会上展示的海报中选出的发言保留了一次会议。下午保留给海报会议，以确保在这些会议上进行最大限度的互动，这些会议传统上非常受与会者欢迎。茶将在每个海报会议上提供。发言是由一个国际组织委员会挑选的，目的是使会议上的发言者具有多样性。
