International Conference on Ribosomes in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada May 20-25, 1995.

在过去的二十年里，大约每三年举行一次关于核糖体的国际会议。这些会议的目的是综述目前关于核糖体的结构/功能以及这种复杂的大分子与蛋白质生物合成所需的其他因子和配体的相互作用的研究。将讨论的私人主题包括rRNA结构/功能；rRNA合成、加工和组织；核糖体蛋白质结构/功能；rRNA/r蛋白质相互作用；核糖体组装；翻译机构的进化；信使核糖核酸相互作用、tRNA相互作用；翻译的保真度；以及外部因素/抗生素与核糖体的相互作用。这次会议定于1995年5月20日25日在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市举行，将对国际上正在进行的核糖体研究工作产生重大影响。在这个时候，来自世界各地的实地工作人员将相互交流，讨论自上次会议(柏林，1992年)以来取得的进展，并概述预计今后将开展的工作。总结核糖体及其在蛋白质生物合成中的作用的书出自大多数以前的会议。这样的一本书也计划在这次会议上出版。这些书成为世界各地研究实验室的标准书籍，作为在这一复杂领域所做工作的全面参考。核糖体是蛋白质合成的细胞机器。对于世界各地的许多工作者来说，核糖体领域是一个很小但充满活力的研究领域。尽管这个领域没有以前那么受欢迎，但许多批判性研究和许多进展都有很大的规律性。对核糖体的进一步研究对于我们理解蛋白质的合成是必不可少的。最近几年特别令人感兴趣的是，越来越多的证据表明，核糖体与tRNA(结构RNA)和mRNA(携带编码蛋白质的信息)以一种灵活的方式相互作用。这次会议的一个主要重点是了解QE复杂互动的动态。这次会议定于1995年5月20日至25日在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市举行，将对国际上正在进行的核糖体研究努力产生重大影响。

Approximately every three years, for the past twenty years, international meetings have been held on the subject of ribosomes. The purpose of these meetings is to review the current research on the structure/function of the ribosome and the interactions of this complex macromolecule with other factors and ligands necessary for protein biosynthesis. PRIVATE Topics to be discussed include rRNA structure/function; rRNA synthesis, processing and organization; ribosomal protein structure/function; rRNA/r protein interactions; ribosome assembly; evolution of the translational apparatus; mRNA interactions, tRNA interactions; fidelity of translation; and extrinsic factors/antibiotic interactions with ribosomes. This meeting, scheduled to be held May 20 25, 1995 in Victoria, British Columbia, will have a major impact on the international efforts being made in ribosome research. It is a time when workers in the field from around the world will interact, discussing the progress made since the last meeting (Berlin, 1992) and outline that work which is expected to transpire in the future. Excel lent books summarizing the ribosome and its role in protein biosynthesis have emanated from most of the previous conferences. Such a book is planned for this conference as well. These books become rather standard in research laboratories throughout the world as comprehensive references for the work done in this complex field. %%% The ribosome is the cellular machinery for protein synthesis. The ribosome field is a small but vibrant research arena for many workers throughout the world. Even though this field does not enjoy all of the popularity it once did, much critical research and many advances take place with great regularity. Further research on ribosomes is essential to our understanding of protein synthesis. Of special interest in the last few years is the evidence mounting that the ribosome interacts in a pliable way with tRNA (the structural RNA) and mRNA (which carries the message to encode the protein). A main emphasis of this meeting is to understand the dynamics of theqe complex interactions. This meeting, scheduled to be held May 20-25, 1995 in Victoria, British Columbia, will have a major impact on the international efforts being made in ribosome research.
