Muscle: Contractile Proteins GRC 2005

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项建议的目的是帮助支持将于2005年7月3-8日在新罕布夏州新伦敦举行的关于“肌肉：收缩蛋白”的国际研讨会(戈登研究会议)。这次会议旨在为信息交流提供一个论坛，从而更好地整合关于肌肉和运动蛋白结构和功能的知识。肌肉：收缩蛋白戈登会议为领导科学家提供了一个论坛，让他们就我们对肌肉收缩机制及其调节的最新进展进行多学科的讨论。本次会议成立于1970年，起源于可追溯到1966年的戈登肌肉研究会议。肌肉：收缩蛋白会议每三年举行一次，与专注于细胞骨架的运动和收缩系统以及肌肉：兴奋-收缩耦合交替举行。2005年，肌肉：收缩蛋白质会议将在Colby-Sawyer学院连续几周举行，同时举行运动和收缩系统会议，为那些对细胞运动的广泛主题感兴趣的人提供参加这两个会议的机会。这将是一个过渡性的会议，因为会议的总体焦点将在肌肉收缩的分子基础和分子马达的设计和功能的更广泛的主题之间进行划分。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is to help support an international symposium (Gordon Research Conference) on "Muscle: Contractile Proteins" to be held July 3-8, 2005 in New London, New Hampshire. This meeting is designed to provide a forum for information exchange that will lead to better integration of knowledge about muscle and motor protein structure and function. The Muscle: Contractile Proteins Gordon Conference serves as a forum for leading scientists to have a multi disciplinary discussion of recent advances to our understanding of the mechanism of muscle contraction and its regulation. The present conference was established in 1970, having its origins in Gordon Research Conferences on muscle that date back to 1966. The Muscle: Contractile Proteins Conference is held every third year, alternating with Motility and Contractile Systems, which focuses on the cytoskeleton, and Muscle: Excitation-Contraction Coupling. In 2005 the Muscle: Contractile Proteins Conference will be held on back-to-back weeks at Colby-Sawyer College with the Motility and Contractile Systems Conference, providing the opportunity for those interested in a wide range of topics in cellular motility to attend both. This will be a transitional conference in that the overall focus of the conference will be divided between the Molecular Basis of Muscle Contraction and the broader topic of the Design and Function of Molecular Motors.
