Methods in Protein Structure Analysis 2004

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案用于支持2004年蛋白质结构分析方法（MPSA2004）的部分费用。MPSA2004将是自1974年开始的MPSA蛋白质结构分析系列国际会议的第15次会议。MPSA2004将于8月29日至9月2日在华盛顿大学西雅图校区举行，预计将吸引200-300名科学家参加。23位国际公认的特邀演讲者已同意参加；将从提交的摘要中选择其他参与者，就将讨论的10个主题进行简短的演讲。MPSA会议的目的是通过开发这些技术的科学领导者讲述的科学成功故事，交流蛋白质结构分析和蛋白质组学方面最新的尖端技术。受邀的演讲者通过从摘要中选择的简短演讲来补充，以捕捉最新的突破性成果。生物技术供应商将通过讲习班和示范摊位解释目前可用的商业技术。总体目标是为当前和未来的从业者提供一个交流蛋白质结构分析和蛋白质组学最新方法和思想的论坛。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to support a portion of the costs of Methods in Protein Structure Analysis 2004 (MPSA2004). MPSA2004 will be the 15th in the series of MPSA international conferences on protein structure analysis that began in 1974. MPSA2004 will be held on the campus of the University of Washington, Seattle, WA August 29 through September 2, 2004 and is expected to attract 200-300 scientists. Twenty-three internationally recognized invited speakers have agreed to participate; additional participants will be chosen from submitted abstracts for short talks in the 10 topics that will be addressed. The aim of MPSA conferences is to communicate the latest, cutting-edge techniques in protein structure analysis and proteomics through science success stories as told by the scientific leaders who developed the technologies. Invited speakers are augmented by short talks chosen from abstracts to capture late breaking results. Biotechnology vendors are present to explain currently available commercial technology through workshops and demonstration booths. The overall aim is to provide a forum for exchanging the latest methods and ideas in protein structure analysis and proteomics to current and future practitioners.
