DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 27th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society aims to act as a nexus for scientists from all disciplines, and at all stages of career development, who share a common research interest in protein structure, function, dynamics, design and their implications with regard to human health and disease. A gathering of biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians and others, the Symposium is designed to facilitate the dissemination of protein-related knowledge outside the silos of discipline and sector, and has long served to accelerate the advancement of health- related discovery. The central role of proteins in human biology, combined with the ever- expanding array of methodologies, tools, and investigative strategies used to understand them, make opportunities for coactive exploration more critical than ever before. The program will consist of 10 scientific sessions that focus on leading-edge topics including protein interactions in the cellular milieu, protein folding proteins and human disease, big machines, chemical biology, post-translational modifications, protein design and directed evolution, functional dynamics, protein science for sustainability, and nanotechnology. It will feature presentations by nearly 50 researchers (including 20 Young Investigator talks, selected from submitted abstracts of students and postdocs), as well as 2 plenary sessions. Recognizing the enduring nature of the struggle against human disease, the Protein Society Symposium places a special emphasis upon fostering the growth and development of young scientists by providing unique and plentiful opportunities for mentorship and interaction with established researchers, career guidance through educational workshops led by established academics, as well as numerous prospects for recognition of their work. And, true to the mission and character of the Society, a focus on the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups means that attendees benefit from varied perspectives, enriching the quality and effectiveness of the overall scientific program. A special edition of the Society journal, Protein Science, containing the submitted abstracts of conference participants, will be published in conjunction with the Symposium and made available to participants and interested investigators in print and online. Held in Boston (July 20- 23, 2013), the Symposium is expected to include more than 1,000 attendees, and will offer complimentary attendance to interested undergraduate students, with a concerted effort to encourage participation by representatives of graduate programs at leading academic institutions, and to act as a forum for connection of the two.

描述(由申请人提供)：第27届蛋白质学会年度研讨会旨在为来自所有学科和职业发展所有阶段的科学家提供联系，他们对蛋白质结构、功能、动力学、设计及其对人类健康和疾病的影响有共同的研究兴趣。作为生物学家、化学家、物理学家、数学家和其他人的聚会，研讨会旨在促进与蛋白质有关的知识在学科和部门之外的传播，长期以来一直有助于加快与健康相关的发现的进程。蛋白质在人类生物学中的核心作用，再加上用于理解蛋白质的方法学、工具和研究策略的不断扩大，使得合作探索的机会比以往任何时候都更加重要。该计划将包括10个科学会议， 专注于前沿主题，包括细胞环境中的蛋白质相互作用、蛋白质折叠蛋白质与人类疾病、大型机器、化学生物学、翻译后修饰、蛋白质设计和定向进化、功能动力学、可持续发展的蛋白质科学和纳米技术。它将包括近50名研究人员的演讲(包括20次青年研究员演讲，选自提交的学生和博士后摘要)，以及2次全体会议。蛋白质学会专题讨论会认识到与人类疾病作斗争的持久性质，特别强调通过提供独特和充足的机会指导和与知名研究人员互动，通过由知名学者领导的教育讲习班提供职业指导，以及通过许多机会承认他们的工作，从而促进青年科学家的成长和发展。而且，忠于学会的使命和特点，关注传统上代表性不足的群体的参与意味着与会者从不同的角度受益，丰富了整个科学计划的质量和有效性。该学会期刊《蛋白质科学》的特刊载有与会者提交的摘要，将与专题讨论会一起出版，并以印刷版和在线形式提供给与会者和感兴趣的研究人员。研讨会于2013年7月20日至23日在波士顿举行，预计将有超过1,000人参加，并将为感兴趣的本科生提供免费参加，共同努力鼓励一流学术机构的研究生项目代表参与，并作为两者联系的论坛。
