Engineering Foundation's Fourteenth Enzyme Engineering Conference, October 12-17, 1997, Beijing, China

9712619多迪克酶工程会议是由工程基金会赞助的最长、持续时间最长的会议系列。第一次会议于1971年在新汉普郡举行，此后每隔一年举行一次。会议在国内和国外轮流举行。这些会议通常有150-200名酶工程研究领域的世界领袖参加。超过一半的演讲者来自外国。1997年会议的主题是“有可能戏剧性地塑造21世纪生物技术和化学技术的技术”。领先的酶科学家，包括我们的许多BES奖获得者(例如，Arnold，Dordick，Clark)都是参与者。主要会议包括：蛋白质工程酶使用酶的精细化学合成Extremozyme人工酶环境生物催化酶的分析应用这次会议将为美国研究人员提供一个与该领域的外国科学家建立网络的绝佳机会，其中许多科学家来自日本等具有广泛酶使用历史的国家。该提案要求美国国家科学基金会提供1.2万美元，以支持六名美国演讲者的旅费和注册费。***

9712619 Dordick The Enzyme Engineering Conference is the longest, continuous conference series that is sponsored by the Engineering Foundation. The first meeting was held in New Hampshire in 1971 and every other year thereafter. The meetings alternate between domestic and foreign locales. The conferences are generally attended by 150-200 world leaders in enzyme engineering research. Over half of the speakers are from foreign nations. The theme of the 1997 conference is "technologies that have the potential for dramatically shaping biotechnology and chemical technology in the 21st century". Leading enzyme scientists, including many of our BES awardees (e.g., Arnold, Dordick, Clark) are participants. Among the key sessions are: Protein engineering enzymes Fine chemical synthesis using enzymes Extremozymes Artificial enzymes Environmental biocatalysis Analytical applications of enzymes The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for U.S. researchers to network with foreign scientists in the field, many of whom come from countries with extensive enzyme-use history, e.g., Japan. The proposal requests $12,000 from NSF to support the travel and registration costs of six of the U.S. speakers. ***
