DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the FASEB Summer Research Conference on Molecular Biophysics of Cellular Membranes. The importance of cellular membranes can hardly be overstated. The content of this meeting will integrate diverse areas of membrane biology and physics to seek answers to address critical questions regarding the biology of membranes. The 2010 conference will be the 11th in a 22 year series of FASEB meetings devoted to this area of research. The conference focus will be on the basic biophysical and structural principles underlying membrane structure and function, including membrane protein structure and assembly, and molecular descriptions of the mechanisms of membrane protein function. A principal objective of this conference has always been to stimulate cross-pollination of ideas amongst a diverse group of membrane biophysicists, cell biologists, biochemists, and physiologists by bringing them together in an intimate setting to share the latest developments in their fields. For example in past meetings, talks have ranged from highly biophysical (membrane protein folding, design, structure, and modeling), to highly biological (viral entry/exit and bacterial toxins). Thus, biophysicists are exposed to interesting biological problems in need of physical insight and biologists can learn about new ideas and techniques for studying and understanding membranes. The intention of the proposed conference is to continue the success of this broad mix, although the focus will remain on membrane biophysics. The requested funds will be used to support the registration and travel expenses of a diverse set of speakers, who include young investigators. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will provide support for world class speakers to participate in the FASEB Summer Conference on Molecular Biophysics of Cellular Membranes, which is held every other summer. Membranes and membrane proteins play a host of critical roles in health and disease but are extremely difficult to study. This conference will promote advances in membrane biology and biophysics by providing a venue for collegial sharing of cutting-edge advances and for promoting future advances by cross- fertilization of ideas among the diverse set of participants in this meeting.

描述(由申请人提供)：请求支持FASE B关于细胞膜分子生物物理的夏季研究会议。细胞膜的重要性怎么强调都不为过。本次会议的内容将整合膜生物学和物理学的不同领域，以寻求解决与膜生物学有关的关键问题的答案。2010年的会议将是FASEB致力于这一研究领域的22年系列会议中的第11次会议。会议的重点将是膜结构和功能的基本生物物理和结构原理，包括膜蛋白的结构和组装，以及膜蛋白功能机制的分子描述。这次会议的一个主要目标一直是鼓励不同的膜生物物理学家、细胞生物学家、生物化学家和生理学家在一个亲密的环境中相互授粉，分享各自领域的最新发展。例如，在过去的会议上，讨论的范围从高度生物性的(膜蛋白折叠、设计、结构和建模)到高度生物性的(病毒进出和细菌毒素)。因此，生物物理学家可以接触到需要物理洞察的有趣的生物学问题，生物学家可以学习研究和理解膜的新思想和新技术。拟议会议的目的是继续取得这一广泛混合的成功，尽管重点将仍然是膜生物物理学。所要求的资金将用于支持包括年轻调查人员在内的不同发言者的登记和旅费。 与公共卫生相关：该项目将支持世界级演讲者参加每隔一年夏天举行的FASEB关于细胞膜分子生物物理的夏季会议。膜和膜蛋白在健康和疾病中发挥着许多关键作用，但研究起来极其困难。这次会议将通过为共同分享尖端进展提供场所，并通过在本次会议的不同与会者之间相互交流思想来促进未来的进展，从而促进膜生物学和生物物理学的进展。
