International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry

简介（由申请人提供）：本提案申请支持将于2005年7月31日至8月5日在密歇根大学安娜堡分校举行的第12届国际生物无机化学会议（ICBIC）。这个会议传统上关注无机化学的生物学方面，涵盖了各种各样的主题。在下次国际工商委员会会议上，个别会议将讨论以下主题：成像、药用生物无机物、金属离子毒性/抗性、金属氧化应激、金属蛋白设计、蛋白质折叠结构动力学、生物有机金属、电子转移、理论计算、钼和钨、锌、钒、氮酶、金属酶自由基催化剂、血红素、环境生物无机物、生物材料、生物能学、光系统II、氧化酶、金属调节、金属离子稳态、生物矿化和小分子传感器。这次会议将介绍无机生物化学领域的前沿研究。ICBIC 12的受邀讲师和参与者都是各自领域的领军人物。许多研究生和博士后将参加会议，代表这一领域的未来。本申请所寻求的支助的主要用途将主要是协助会议的初级与会者，特别是其中的妇女和少数民族。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal applies for support for the 12th International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry, ICBIC, to be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI from July 31st to August 5th 2005. This meeting traditionally is concerned with biological aspects of Inorganic chemistry and covers a wide variety of topics. In this next ICBIC meeting, the topics that will be covered in individual sessions are: Imaging, Medicinal Bioinorganics, Metal ion Toxicity/resistance, Metal Oxidative Stress, Metalloprotein Design, Protein Folding Structural Dynamics, Bioorganometallic, Electron Transfer, Theoretical Calculations, Molybdenum and Tungsten, Zinc, Vanadium, Nitrogenase, Metalloenzyme Radical Catalysts, Hemes, Environmental Bioinorganic, Biomaterials, Bioenergetics, Photosystem II, Oxidases, Metalloregulation, Metal Ion Homeostasis, Biomineralization and Small Molecule Sensors. This meeting will be presenting cutting-edge research in the area of inorganic biochemistry. The invited lecturers' participants of ICBIC 12 are included among the leaders in their fields. Many graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will attend the meeting representing the future of this area. A major use of the support sought in this application will assist mainly the junior participants of the meeting and particularly women and minorities among them.
