International Summer School on Macromolecular Crystallographic Computing being held at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA., August 16-22, 1996

9529557 Bourne该提案寻求资金支持国际大分子晶体计算国际暑期学校，该学校是在国际晶体学联盟的主持下组织的。这将是第十四次这样的会议，将于1996年8月16日至22日在西华盛顿大学举行。大分子晶体学研究的是生物大分子三维结构的精确测定。这对于在分子水平上更好地理解生物功能是很重要的，这反过来又通过更好地理解疾病的原因和设计新药来解决医疗问题，从而导致医学的进步。该学院将限制为150名科学家和学生，他们将接受大分子晶体学计算方面的讲座和实践教学。由于计算和通信技术，特别是大分子结构求解和解释方面的计算技术正在迅速发展，这个学院被认为是非常及时的。总共寻求5000美元用于支持该学院。学院的总费用估计为$93,000 ***

9529557 Bourne This proposal seeks funds to help support an International Summer School on Macromolecular Crystallographic Computing which is organized under the auspices on the International Union of Crystallography. This will be the fourteenth such meeting and will be held at Western Washington University from August 16-22, 1996. Macromolecular crystallography is concerned with the accurate determination of the 3-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules. This is important for a better understanding of biological function at the molecular level, which in turn leads to advances in medicine through a better understanding of the cause of disease and the design of new drugs to combat medical problems. The School will be limited to 150 scientists and students who will receive lectures and hands-on teaching in the computational aspects of macromolecular crystallography. This School is considered especially timely since computing and communication technology in general, and computing techniques in macromolecular structure solution and interpretation in particular, are advancing at a rapid rate. A total of $5,000 is sought towards supporting the School. The overall cost of the School is estimated at $93,000 ***
