METALS IN BIOLOGY-GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE-1989

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1989年1月23-37在 加利福尼亚州文图拉。这个多学科的会议被许多人认为 成为涵盖矿物生物化学领域的首屈一指的小型会议 和生物无机化学。从FASEB赞助的关于 《金属结合的生物学方面》于1960年举行，第一届戈登 关于这个主题的会议于1962年召开，并定期举行 从那以后。这些会议一直是演讲的论坛， 讨论前沿研究，涵盖角色的方方面面 生物、生物化学和医学中的金属离子。它的受欢迎程度 会议导致了如此严重的超额认购，大量 有资质的科学家否认接受，日程安排被改为 自1987年1月起生效的年历。 即将召开的会议要强调的议题包括：(1)生化 金属毒性的基础；(2)氧化酶、加氧酶和羟醛；(3) 金属对基因表达的调控；(4)氧激活和 反硝化作用；(5)依赖钒和镍的酶；以及(6)金属 在光合作用中。本次大会的形式提供了23个正式 特邀演讲者的演讲，精选的关于最近的简短演讲 有意义的结果，和三个一般性的海报会议。广泛性 为每个组成部分规划了讨论时段。

Funds are requested to support travel of participants to the "Metals in Biology" Gordon Research Conference to be held January 23-37, 1989, in Ventura, California. This multidisciplinary conference is thought by many 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 since then. The meetings have been a forum for the presentation and discussion of the 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 switched to an annual calendar effective January 1987. The topics to be emphasized at the coming meeting include (1) biochemical basis of metal toxicity; (2) oxidases, oxygenases and hyroxyalses; (3) metal regulation of gene expression; (4) oxygen activation and denitrification; (5) vanadium and nickel-dependent enzymes; and (6) metals in photosynthesis. The format of this conference provides 23 formal presentations by invited speakers, selected short talks on very recent results of significance, and three general poster sessions. Extensive discussion periods are planned for each of the components.
