GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCES: BIOENERGETICS

戈登生物能量学研究会议每两年举行一次。 这次会议是交流思想和 美国生物能量学社区的研究人员之间的信息。 此外，来自以下国家的同事也踊跃参加了会议： 海外，因此代表了一个独特的互动机会， 在美国和国外生物能量学社区之间。 的 会议总是超额预订。 1989年生物能学戈登会议是围绕这两个问题安排的。 电子转移中的结构-功能关系中心 蛋白质与能量转换机制 转导ATP酶。 分子遗传学已经有了一个重要的 近年来，在这两个领域的影响，因此， 一个强有力的强调，无论是在选定的讲师，并在主题 选择举办分子遗传学应用研讨会的地区 在这些领域的前沿阐明问题， 生物能量学 在组织1989年戈登会议时， 在一定程度上优化讨论细节， 在以前的形式中，“非正式”讨论是可能的， 在135名观众面前进行了尝试。 实现 为此，我们正在采用专门的车间， 取代了一个上午的正常讲座时间表， 八个专题领域。 预计，每一个 将有25-30人参加讲习班： 应该提供更自由流动和更详细的水平， 与会者之间的讨论比可能在前面的 戈登会议的所有观众 这些讲习班的一个特点是， 会议主席指示主持人， 确定博士后研究员和研究生， 适合作为这些讨论的主要参与者。 的 会议主席已要求研讨会主持人通知 这些年轻调查员的名字，以便 主席可以鼓励他们参加这次会议， 为他们在当地的开支提供部分经济支持， 出行 该领域的持续增长和科学活力 生物能源学的发展需要年轻科学家的参与， 这次会议。 因此，本申请仅 请求支持，以鼓励年轻人参加 investigators.

The Gorden Research Conference on Bioenergetics is held biannually. This conference is the focal point for exchange of ideas and information among researchers in the U.S. bioenergetics community. In addition, the conference is well attended by colleagues from overseas, and thus represents a unique opportunity for interaction between the U.S. and foreign bioenergetics communities. The conference is always oversubscribed. The 1989 Bioenergetics Gordon Conference is arranged around the two central of structure-function relationships in electron transfer proteins and mechanisms of energy transduction in energy transducing ATPases. Molecular genetics has had a significant impact in these two areas in recent years, consequently, there is a strong emphasis, both in the selected lecturers, and in the topic area chosen for workshops, on the application of molecular genetics to elucidating questions at the forefront of these fields in bioenergetics. In organizing the 1989 Gordon Conference, attention has been given to optimizing discussion in detail to a degree which has not been possible in previous formats where "informal" discussions have been attempted in front of an audience of 135 individuals. To achieve this end we are introducing the use of specialized workshops, supplanting the normal lecture schedule for one mornings to cover eight selected topic areas. It is expected that each of these workshops will be attended by 25-30 individuals: The workshops should provide a more free flowing and more detailed level of discussion among participants than is possible in front of the entire Gordon Conference audience. A special feature of these workshops is that the workshop moderators have been instructed by the conference chairman to identify postdoctoral fellows and graduate students who would be suitable as key participants in these discussions. The conference chairman has asked the workshop moderators to notify the chairman of the names of these young investigators, so that the chairman can encourage their participation at this conference by offering partial financial support for their local expenses and travel. The continued growth and scientific vigor of the field of bioenergetics requires the participation of young scientists in this conference. For this reason, this application is solely requesting support to encourage the attendance of young investigators.
