GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON BACTERIAL CELL SURFACES

戈登细菌细胞表面会议，将于 1988年7月，是一系列富有成效的会议中的第八次， 汇集了杰出的科学家，他们正在使用广泛的 的方法来研究结构和 细菌细胞表面的功能方面。 的题目 在这次会议上要强调的是：1）互动 细菌与其他细胞及其环境在这两个过程中， 致病性和非致病性关联，2）信号传递 3）小分子通过包膜的运输 膜;和4）调节和有序组装的 信封隔间的组成部分。 的这些区域 研究是理解许多基本细胞的核心， 流程. 此外，所讨论的结果具有直接的意义 与医疗问题有关。 不仅细菌本身 病原体，但他们也提供，通过重组DNA 技术，一种生产具有医学重要性的蛋白质的方法。 本次会议的两次会议将专门讨论 蛋白质的分泌。 将提供可能是 用于提高有价值的基因工程产品的产量 proteins. 戈登会议的气氛非常适合促进 科学家之间的广泛互动。 参与者是 在一个偏僻的地方呆了一个星期 所有的 一起吃饭，下午免费。 因此 有充分机会进行非正式讨论。 该布置 特别适合引入新的调查人员 进入到成熟的实验室社区。

The Gordon Conference on Bacterial Cell Surfaces, to be held in July 1988, is the eighth n a series of productive meetings that bring together outstanding scientists who are using a wide range of approaches to investigate both the structural and the functional aspects of bacterial cell surfaces. The topics that are to be emphasized at this meeting include: 1) interaction of bacteria with other cells and with their environment during both pathogenic and non-pathogenic associations, 2) signal transmission through the envelope, 3) transport of small molecules through the membranes; and 4) the regulated and orderly assembly of the constituents of the envelope compartments. These areas of research are central to the understanding of many basic cellular processes. In addition, the results to be discussed are of direct relevance to medical problems. Not only are bacteria themselves pathogens, but they also provide, through recombinant DNA technology, a means to produce proteins of medical importance. Two sessions of this meeting will be devoted to the mechanism of secretion of protein. Information will be presented that might be used to improve production of valuable genetically-engineered proteins. The atmosphere of the Gordon Conferences i ideal for promoting extensive interaction among scientists. The participants are together for a week in a remote and isolated location. All the meals are taken together and the afternoons are free. Thus, there is ample opportunity for informal discussion. The arrangement is particularly well-suited for the introduction of new investigators into the community of well-established laboratories.
