DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to request support for a Keystone Symposia meeting entitled "Frontiers of NMR in Biology", organized by Mitsuhiko Ikura and Ann E. McDermott, which will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico from February 15 - 20, 2009. Over the past several decades Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become an indispensable tool in structural and molecular biology, with most recent contributions to genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Advances in NMR technology would not be possible without our continued efforts to develop new methodologies and applications. This symposium will focus on the latest technological advances in NMR spectroscopy as well as recent biological discoveries made through NMR studies. Emphasis will be placed on the investigation of large biological systems, membrane proteins, folding and dynamics, and transient states of enzymatic reactions or protein interactions. As such, those using NMR have been extending its application to more complex and challenging systems in combination with other biophysical tools such as X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for discussion on these and other new trends in biological NMR. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has had an enormous impact on life science, medicine and the pharmaceutical industry by providing unique methods for investigating proteins, nucleic acids and other biological molecules that either have direct roles in disease pathology or that can be targeted by drugs for disease treatment or prevention. This symposium will focus on the latest technological advances in NMR spectroscopy as well as recent biological discoveries made through NMR studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在请求支持由Mitsuhiko Ikura和Ann E.麦克德莫特，这将是在圣达菲，新墨西哥州从2009年2月15日至20日举行。在过去的几十年里，核磁共振（NMR）光谱已成为结构和分子生物学中不可或缺的工具，最近对基因组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学做出了贡献。如果没有我们不断努力开发新的方法和应用，核磁共振技术的进步是不可能的。本次研讨会将重点介绍核磁共振波谱学的最新技术进展以及通过核磁共振研究取得的最新生物学发现。重点将放在大型生物系统，膜蛋白，折叠和动力学，酶促反应或蛋白质相互作用的瞬态的调查。因此，那些使用NMR的人已经将其应用扩展到更复杂和更具挑战性的系统，并结合其他生物物理工具，如X射线晶体学和电子显微镜。本次研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，讨论这些和其他新的趋势，在生物核磁共振。 公共卫生关系：核磁共振（NMR）对生命科学、医学和制药工业产生了巨大的影响，它提供了独特的方法来研究蛋白质、核酸和其他生物分子，这些分子在疾病病理学中具有直接作用，或者可以被药物靶向用于疾病治疗或预防。本次研讨会将重点介绍核磁共振波谱学的最新技术进展以及通过核磁共振研究取得的最新生物学发现。
