Xth International Symposium on Glycoconjugates, Jerusalem, Israel, September 10-20, 1989.

复合碳水化合物或糖缀合物广泛分布 在自然界中，主要是糖蛋白或糖脂。 存在 蛋白质中碳水化合物的含量可能会影响其稳定性， 他们的生物活性，并控制他们的寿命， 身体 细胞表面的糖蛋白和糖脂 对细胞的特异性，并在现象中发挥至关重要的作用 例如激素、生长因子和 毒素;免疫反应;受精、分化和 生长;以及细胞的社会行为。 过去十年 见证了糖结合物的异常活性爆发 研究和应用作为证据， 在这个领域的出版物。 目前有超过5000 一年中发表的关于糖蛋白的文章。 财政支持 为年轻科学家提供了参加 第十届国际糖缀合物和糖屑研讨会 关于世界各地在这些领域取得的最新进展的信息。 该奖项为博士后研究员和/或 青年科学家参加一个多学科会议， 第十届糖缀合物国际研讨会，将于 耶路撒冷，1989年9月10日至20日。 本次研讨会的目的 是介绍和讨论在结构上的重大进展， 以及糖蛋白和糖脂的功能研究， 作为最新发现在生物学，医学， 农业和生物技术。

Complex carbohydrates or glycoconjugates are widely distributed in nature, mainly as glycoproteins or glycolipids. The presence of carbohydrates in proteins may affect their stability, modulate their biological activity, and control their lifespan in the body. Glycoproteins and glycolipids on cell surfaces confer specificity to the cells and play a crucial role in phenomena such as the selective binding of hormones, growth factors and toxins; the immune response; fertilization, differentiation and growth; and the social behavior of cells. The past decade has witnessed an extraordinary burst of activity in glycoconjugate research and applications as evidence by doubling of the number of publications in this field. Currently there are over 5000 publications a year on glycoproteins alone. Financial support for young scientists affords them the opportunity to attend the Xth International Symposium on Glycoconjugates and glean information on the latest advances made in these areas worldwide. This award funds partial support for postdoctoral fellows and/or junior scientists to attend a multidisciplinary conference, the Xth International Symposium on Glycoconjugates, to be held in Jerusalem, September 10-20, 1989. The purpose of this Symposium is to present and discuss the major advances in the structural and functional studies of glycoproteins and glycolipids, as well as applications of the recent findings to biology, medicine, agriculture and biotechnology.
