14th International Congress on Flavins and Flavoproteins

描述(由申请人提供)：本届大会将是每三年举行一次的国际黄种人研讨会系列中的第十四届。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日在英国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，就当前黄素和黄素蛋白的研究进行深入讨论，并在海报和演讲中展示他们自己的工作。会议记录以专题讨论会卷的形式出版，为所有与会者提供了有用的参考。计划就以下主题举行会议：简单黄素蛋白的新结构和机理含义；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--基于富马酸还原酶框架的催化。全体讲座将由Maria Vanoni(谷氨酸合成酶的结构-功能研究)、Denis Stuehr(NO合成酶的动力学和结构研究，以揭示其独特的调节机制)、Sunny Xie(黄素酶的单分子研究)和Gary Cecchini(对复合体II的功能和生理的结构洞察)。此外，还预留了一段时间，从会议上提交的海报中挑选专题介绍。下午被预留给海报会议，以确保这些会议上的最大互动，这是传统上非常受参与者欢迎的会议。每一次招贴会都会提供茶水。发言由一个国际组织委员会挑选，以期在会议上有不同的发言者。

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.
