2009 Enzymes, Co-enzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Conference to be held July 5-10, 2009 in Waterville, New Hampshire

2009年酶，辅酶和代谢途径戈登研究会议将于2009年7月5日至10日在沃特维尔，新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷度假村举行。 本次会议将汇集研究酶反应、酶功能原理、酶的从头设计和发现以及它们参与的生物学途径的领先学术、工业和政府科学家。该研究是高度跨学科的，使用生物学，生物化学，化学，物理学，生物物理学，工程学和计算机科学的工具。该计划包括该领域前沿的主要课题，并在领先的高级和年轻研究人员之间保持良好的平衡。目前尚未发表的成果将通过讲座和海报以及非正式讨论加以传播，为此已分配了充足的时间。尖端成果和思想的有效共享将加快催化剂设计、生物能源和代谢工程的研究步伐。更广泛的影响。 会议将促进专业网络和酶学和代谢途径领域的多样性。已作出特别努力，鼓励妇女和代表人数不足的科学家以及来自较小学院和大学的调查人员参加，其中许多人是会议的领导人和发言人。一个令人印象深刻的数字与会者将是博士。学生和博士后学者谁将有机会与杰出的科学家互动，以促进他们的成长和发展。

The 2009 Enzymes, Co-enzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Conference will be held at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville, New Hampshire from July 5-10th, 2009. This conference will bring together leading academic, industrial, and government scientists who study enzyme reactions, the principles by which enzymes function, their de novo design and discovery, and the biological pathways in which they participate. The research is highly interdisciplinary, using the tools of biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, biophysics, engineering, and computer science. The program includes major topics at the frontier of the field with an excellent balance of leading senior and younger investigators. Current, unpublished results will be disseminated by the presentation of lectures and posters and by informal discussions, to which ample time has been allocated. The efficient sharing of cutting-edge results and thinking will accelerate the pace of research toward catalyst design, bioenergy, and metabolic engineering. Broader Impact. The meeting will foster professional networking and enhanced diversity in the field of enzymology and metabolic pathways. Special efforts have been made to encourage the participation of women and underrepresented scientists as well as investigators from smaller colleges and universities, many of whom are included among the session leaders and speakers. An impressive number of the attendees will be Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars who will have opportunities to interact with prominent scientists to enhance their growth and development.
