GORDON CONFERENCE--METALS IN BIOLOGY

请拨资金以支持与会者参加“金属会议”的旅费 《生物学》戈登研究会议将于1994年1月23-28日在 加州文图拉的双树酒店。这是一个多学科的 会议通常被认为是首屈一指的小型会议 涵盖矿物生物化学和生物无机化学领域。 从FASEB赞助的金属生物学方面的会议演变而来- 1960年，关于这一主题的第一次戈登会议 会议于1962年召开，此后一直定期举行。会议已经进行了 是一个展示和讨论前沿研究的论坛 涵盖了金属离子在生物、生物化学、 还有医学。这次会议的受欢迎程度导致了如此沉重的过度- 订阅，大量合格科学家被拒绝 接受将日程安排从两年期改为每年一次 日历从1987年1月开始。尽管如此，会议仍在继续 超额认购，尽管会议更加频繁。 会议要强调的议题包括：(1)金属离子 与DNA和RNA的相互作用。(2)非血红素的作用机制和模型 加氧酶。(3)海洋生物无机化学。(4)膜生物化学 金属离子的运输和信号转导(5)结构和 金属中心在固氮酶家族中的作用(6)生物无机物 一氧化氮的化学：一氧化氮合酶和鸟苷环化酶(7)跨膜氧化还原 中心：细胞色素氧化酶和光合作用反应中心。样例 将提供时间进行讨论，并将尽一切努力 将年轻的调查人员包括在该项目中。

Funds are requested to support travel of participants to the "Metals in Biology" Gordon Research Conference to be held January 23-28, 1994, at the Double Tree Hotel in Ventura, California. This multidisciplinary conference is generally considered to be the premier small meeting covering the fields of metallobiochemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. Evolving from a FASEB-sponsored meeting on Biological Aspects of Metal- Binding held in 1960, the first Gordon Conference on the subject was convened in 1962 and has been held regularly ever since. The meetings have been a forum for the presentation and discussion of forefront research covering all aspects of the roles of metal ions in biology, biochemistry, and medicine. The popularity of this meeting led to such heavy over- subscription, with large numbers of qualified scientists denied acceptance, that the scheduling was changed from biennial to an annual calendar starting in January 1987. Still the meeting remains oversubscribed, despite the more frequent meetings. The topics to be emphasized at the meeting include: (1) Metal ion interactions with DNA and RNA. (2) Mechanisms and Models of Non-heme Oxygenases. (3) Marine Bioinorganic Chemistry. (4) Membrane Biochemistry of Metal Ions: Transport and Signal Transduction (5) Structure and Function of Metal Centers in the Nitrogenase Family. (6) The Bioinorganic Chemistry of NO: NO Synthase and Guanylate Cyclase (7) Transmembrane Redox Centers: Cytochrome Oxidase and Photosynthetic Reaction Centers. Ample time will be provided for discussion and every effort will be made to include young investigators in the program.
