2008 Gordon Research Conference on Protein Folding Dynamics to be held at the Four Points Sheraton Harbortown, Ventura, California from January 6-11, 2008.

这笔资金将用于支持戈登蛋白质折叠动力学研究会议，讨论蛋白质折叠的方法和模型。会议将于2008年1月6日至11日在加州文图拉的福朋喜来登酒店举行。学术价值：蛋白质折叠是一个多学科的研究领域，致力于解决生物学中的一个基本问题。技术和理论的进步改变了我们对蛋白质折叠发生的看法。活动的更广泛的影响：蛋白质折叠动力学的戈登研究会议是一个相对较新的会议，专门将实验和理论结合在一起，探索该领域的进展，并作为一个论坛，讨论从多肽能量学和动力学的基本问题;伴侣辅助折叠。此外，它还支持一些青年科学家出席和参加会议。将优先考虑来自代表人数较少的机构和/或研究团体的学生，使这些年轻人有机会参加会议并作出贡献。

The funding is to support the Gordon Research Conference on Protein Folding Dynamics addressing the methods and models of protein folding. The meeting will take place at the Four Points Sheraton Harbortown, Ventura, California from January 6-11, 2008.Intellectual Merit: Protein folding is a multidisciplinary area of research addressing one of the fundamental problems in biology. Technological and theoretical advances have altered our view of how protein folding occurs. Broader Impact of the Activity: The Gordon Research Conference in Protein Folding Dynamics, is a relatively new conference, set up to specifically bring experiment and theory together to explore advances in the field, and as a forum to discuss fundamental problems from polypeptide energetics and dynamics; to chaperone assisted folding. Additionally, it supports a number of young scientists to attend and participate in the meeting. The priority will be given to students from less well-represented institutions and/or research groups to give these young people the opportunity to participate and contribute to the meeting.
