Second Symposium on Structural Aspects of Protein Synthesis to be held September 21-24, 2000 in Rensselaerville, NY

本次“蛋白质合成的结构方面”研讨会是一个跨学科的会议，旨在为来自不同背景的科学家提供一个讨论和非正式交流的论坛，主题是蛋白质合成过程中核糖体结构及其动态变化和与配体的相互作用。 目的是了解蛋白质合成的分子基础作为一个动态过程，其在细胞内的调节，基于最近的结构研究结果。 由于结构被确定为原子分辨率，核糖体组分的结构被解决，并且可以从cryo-EM获得动态信息，因此可以对蛋白质合成的动态模型的许多实验信息进行重新解释。 会议的形式将使科学家能够正式和非正式地交流信息和想法，这在大型会议中是不可能的。 将邀请所有与会者提交海报摘要，并向科学界分发一个网址。 发言和海报的最后摘要将放在网站上，以便更广泛地分发。

This Symposium on "Structural Aspects of Protein Synthesis" is an interdisciplinary meeting which aims to provide a forum for discussion and informal exchange among scientists from different backgrounds, on the theme of ribosome structure and its dynamic changes and interactions with ligands during protein synthesis. The goal is to understand the molecular basis of protein synthesis as a dynamic process, and its regulation within the cells, based on recent results of structural research. As the structure is determined to atomic resolution, the structure of the ribosome components are solved, and dynamic information is available from cryo-EM, a reinterpretation of much of the experimental information toward a dynamic model of protein synthesis is possible. The format of the conference will provide for formal and informal exchange of information and ideas among scientists that is not possible in large meetings. All participants will be invited to submit abstracts of posters, and a website address will be distributed to the scientific community. Final abstracts of presentation and posters will be placed on the website enabling wider distribution.
