Support of the Tenth Enzyme Engineering Conference, September 24-29, l989

在早期的会议之后，分子生物学的显著进步为酶技术开辟了新的机会，今天人们对酶用于治疗、分析和化学生产的兴趣更大。因此，第九届酶工程会议的议程集中在酶结构研究的最新进展，酶结构和活性改变的定点诱变，酶和全细胞的固定技术，亲和层析，反应器中的转运效应，酶的生产和纯化。第9次会议更加关注生命科学的发展，期待随后的工程应用。第十次会议继续这一一般性办法；但是，它将包含有关工程应用的其他部分。这次会议定于1989年9月24日至29日在日本柏岛举行。这笔资金将用于支持美国参会者的费用。

Subsequent to the early conferences, remarkable advances in molecular biology have opened new opportunities for enzyme technology, and today there is an even greater interest in the use of enzymes for therapeutic, analytical and chemical production purposes. The program of the 9th Enzyme Engineering Conference thus focused on the recent advances in enzyme structure research, on site-directed mutagenesis for alteration of enzyme structure and activity, on immobilization techniques for both enzymes and whole cells, affinity chromatography, transport effects in reactors, and enzyme production and purification. The 9th Conference was considerably more focused on developments in the life sciences, in anticipation of subsequent engineering applications. The 10th Conference continues this general approach; however, it will incorporate additional sections on engineering applications. This conference is scheduled to be held at Kashikojima, Japan, on September 24-29, 1989. Funds are to help support U.S. participant expenses.
