2005 Supramolecules and Assemblies, Chemistry of Gordon Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的主题是戈登研究会议，题为“超分子和组装的化学”，将于2005年6月12日至17日在缅因州沃特维尔的科尔比学院举行。这次会议将汇集来自美国、欧盟和日本的大约135名学术、工业和政府科学家。在这群科学家中，大约有25位科学家将进行35 - 45分钟的受邀演讲，讨论超分子和组装的化学研究现状和/或最新进展，然后是10-15分钟的讨论时间。会议的科学主题将包括(1)使用表面活性剂和生物模板的自组装；（II）动态超分子体系；（III）基于核酸模板的纳米结构和反应性；（四）蛋白质结晶过程中的分子识别与界面现象；(5)脂筏的结构和生物活性；（六）药物和基因传递的自组装系统。会议将促进与会者之间的交流和讨论(a)当前的研究成果，以及(b)将使纳米医学的新发展成为可能的科学和技术基础。这项提案要求经费补充与这次会议有关的旅费。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The subject of this proposal is a Gordon Research Conference entitled "Chemistry of Supra-molecules and Assemblies", to be held June 12-17, 2005 at Colby College, Waterville, Maine. The conference will bring together approximately 135 academic, industrial and government scientists from the United States, the European Union and Japan. Within this body of scientists, approximately 25 scientists will present a 35 - 45 minute invited talk on current research and/or state of the art discussions of the chemistry of Supra-molecules and assemblies, followed by a 10-15 minute discussion period. Scientific themes of the conference will include (I) self-assembly using surfactant & biological templates; (II) dynamic supra-molecular systems; (III) nanostructures and reactivity using nucleic acid-based templates; (IV) molecular recognition & interfacial phenomena in protein crystallization; (V) structure and bioactivity of lipid rafts; and (VI) self-assembled systems in drug & gene delivery. The conference will effect interchange and discussion among the participants of (a) current research results, and (b) the scientific and technological underpinnings that will enable new developments in nanomedicine. This proposal requests funds to supplement travel costs associated with this meeting.
