DNA Repair and Mutagenesis to be held at Hilton Head, SC on November 1-7, 1999.

会议“DNA修复和诱变：机制，控制和生物学后果”是美国微生物学会主办的会议。 会议将汇集各种子学科，共同构成DNA修复和诱变领域。 自1974年以来，关于这一主题的会议每隔大约4年举行一次，并在这一令人兴奋的研究领域的发展中发挥了关键作用。 预计出席人数约为500人，对地点的选择和方案的设计进行了认真考虑，以便与会者能够参加通常只有在小型会议上才能看到的非正式互动环境。 会议将是国际性的，但已制定机制，鼓励青年调查员、博士后研究员和研究生参加。 基础科学最近发现，在人类中发现的重要基因编码的蛋白质类似于细菌E。本课程将深入探讨大肠杆菌解旋酶家族的结构，包括DNA修复蛋白的晶体结构、多蛋白修复系统的生物化学、细胞对DNA损伤反应的遗传分析，以及DNA损伤检查点控制系统的分析。

The meeting "DNA Repair and Mutagenesis: Mechanisms, Control and Biological Consequences" is an American Society for Microbiology sponsored conference. The meeting will bring together the various sub-disciplines that collectively comprise the field of DNA repair and mutagenesis. Conferences on this subject have been held at approximately 4-year intervals since 1974 and have played a critical role in the development of this exciting area of research. Attendance is expected to be about 500, and careful thought has been given to the choice of site and design of the program so that the participants will be able to take part in the informal interactive environment normally found only at smaller meetings. The meeting will be international in scope, but mechanisms have been devised to encourage the participation of young investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The fundamental science underlying recent discoveries that important genes found in humans encode proteins similar to the bacterial E. coli helicase family will be covered in depth, with topics ranging from crystal structure of DNA repair proteins, the biochemistry of multi-protein repair systems, genetic analysis of cellular responses to DNA damage, and analysis of DNA damage checkpoint control systems.
