DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request funds to partially support the Biopolymers Gordon Research Conference to be held from June 13-18, 2004 at Salve Regina College in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, as well as the 2006 and 2008 meetings. The funds will be used primarily to pay conference fees and/or travel expenses for the speakers attending the conference. The purpose of the Biopolymers Gordon Conference since its inception in 1964 has been to bring together biochemists, chemists, physicists, and mathematicians who seek to understand the structure, dynamics, and function of biological macromolecules, particularly proteins, nucleic acids, and protein-nucleic acid complexes. The conference traditionally includes thermodynamic, kinetic and structural studies, involving experiments, computer simulations, and theory. This conference is a unique forum in which these disciplines and topics converge. In addition, we are expanding the repertoire to include exciting new work involving biopolymer applications, particularly in the area of bioengineering. The topics chosen for the 2004 conference represent fundamental areas of longstanding interest together with an emphasis on new and emerging research areas and methodologies. We seek to bring together researchers who are addressing related questions with different approaches, as well as researchers whose achievements in one area suggest important applications to other systems, all united by their common focus on proteins and nucleic acids. We plan to enrich the conference by involving distinguished senior scientists as leaders for discussions on important directions for future study. Since this conference is traditionally oversubscribed, we will endeavor to select enthusiastic and thoughtful participants with significant past accomplishments and substantial future promise. The program encompasses some of the most exciting research in the field of nucleic acid and protein biophysics and promises to generate lively discussions both in and outside of the sessions.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求资金部分支持生物聚合物戈登研究会议将于2004年6月13日至18日在美国罗得岛纽波特的Salve Regina学院举行，以及2006年和2008年的会议。这些资金将主要用于支付会议费和/或出席会议的发言者的旅费。 自1964年成立以来，生物聚合物戈登会议的目的一直是汇集生物化学家，化学家，物理学家和数学家，他们寻求了解生物大分子的结构，动力学和功能，特别是蛋白质，核酸和蛋白质-核酸复合物。会议传统上包括热力学，动力学和结构研究，涉及实验，计算机模拟和理论。这次会议是一个独特的论坛，这些学科和主题汇聚在一起。此外，我们正在扩大剧目，包括令人兴奋的新工作，涉及生物聚合物的应用，特别是在生物工程领域。 为2004年会议选定的专题代表了人们长期关注的基本领域，同时强调新的和正在出现的研究领域和方法。我们寻求汇集研究人员谁是解决相关问题与不同的方法，以及研究人员在一个领域的成就表明其他系统的重要应用程序，所有通过他们的共同关注蛋白质和核酸团结在一起。我们计划通过邀请杰出的资深科学家作为领导人讨论未来研究的重要方向来丰富会议。 由于本次会议传统上是超额认购，我们将奋进选择热情和周到的参与者与重大的过去成就和实质性的未来承诺。该计划包括核酸和蛋白质生物物理学领域的一些最令人兴奋的研究，并承诺在会议内外进行热烈的讨论。
