FASEB Conference on "Transport ATPases: from Genomics to Mechanism" to be held July 14-19, 2001 in Snowmass, Colorado

FASEB夏季研究会议题为“转运atp酶：从基因组学到机制”，其主要目标是将全世界从事转运atp酶研究的约150名科学家聚集在一起，就这一日益重要的领域分享新的信息和想法。具体而言，本次会议将通过约50场演讲，100张海报，非正式和有组织的讨论，传播从基因组学到机制的转运atp酶的新信息。会议包括7场会议，主题如下：1)转运atp酶基因组学；2) p型atp酶I（钙atp酶）；3) p型atp酶II（质子型、质子/钾型和钠/钾型atp酶）；4) f型atp酶；5) v型atp酶；6) ABC运输船；7)新的或相对独特的atp酶依赖的转运体或通道。这是世界上唯一一个完全专注于运输atp酶的会议。本次会议将讨论的新信息直接关系到各种各样的离子、代谢物和药物如何穿过动物、植物和细菌的生物膜，以及ATP水解的能量如何与这种运动耦合。本次会议将利用最近取得的一些成就，包括完成人类基因组测序，在原子分辨率上解决几个转运atp酶结构，以及发现几个具有相当意义的新转运atp酶。

The major goal of the FASEB summer research conference entitled "Transport ATPases: From Genomics to Mechanism" is to bring together about 150 scientists throughout the world working on transport ATPases in order to share new information and ideas about this increasingly important area. Specifically, this conference, via about 50 talks, 100 posters, and both informal and organized discussions, will disseminate new information about transport ATPases ranging from genomics to mechanism as implied by the title. The conference includes 7 session with topics as follows: l) Genomics of transport ATPases; 2) P-type ATPases I (Calcium ATPases); 3) P-type ATPases II (proton, proton/potassium, and sodium /potassium ATPases); 4) F-type ATPases; 5) V-type ATPases; 6) ABC transporters; and 7) new, or relatively unique, ATPase-dependent transporters or channels. This is the only established conference in the world focused entirely on transport ATPases. The new information that will be discussed at this meeting is directly relevant to how a wide variety of ions, metabolites, and drugs move across biological membranes of animals, plants, and bacteria, and how the energy of ATP hydrolysis is coupled to this movement. This conference will capitalize on a number of recent achievements including the completion of the sequencing of the human genome, the resolution of several transport ATPase structures at atomic resolution, and the discovery of several new transport ATPases of considerable significance.
