9TH INTERNATIONAL FLAVINS AND FLAVOPROTEINS SYMPOSIUM

黄素和黄素蛋白的范围很广，但很清楚， 定义一 它涵盖了与化学有关的工作的各个方面， 基于异咯嗪核和极少数 密切相关的结构。 因为它非同寻常， 黄素作为一个辅基的独特的多功能性及其在 各种重要的生物氧化和还原过程，这 面积继续迅速扩大。 对黄素的兴趣范围从 从理论化学到医学。 1987年将在亚特兰大举行的第九届国际研讨会将是一个 从1965年开始每隔3年组织一次的系列 最后一次是1984年夏天在英国布莱顿。 由于这一领域研究的持续和不断加快， 定期举行会议似乎很重要。 审查 讲座将涵盖整个领域，会议应汇集 来自世界各地的科学家，来自各个学科， 促进有价值的讨论和信息交流。 此外还 应该服务于使现有工人充分了解最新情况的目的， 这个问题的各个方面，并启动年轻的研究人员进入这一领域， 重要的研究领域。

The area of flavins and flavoproteins is a broad, but clearly and simply defined one. It covers all aspects of work pertaining to the chemistry and biology of compounds based on the isoalloxazine nucleus and on a very few closely related structures. Because of the extraordinary and perhaps unique versatility of flavin as a prosthetic group and its involvement in a variety of important biological oxidation and reduction processes, this area continues to expand rapidly. Interest in flavins ranges from theoretical chemistry to medical aspects. The 9th International Symposium to be held in Atlanta in 1987, will be one of a series which have been organized at 3-year intervals from 1965 onwards, the last having been in Brighton, England, in the summer of 1984. Because of the continued and increasing pace of research in this area, it seems important that regularly scheduled meetings should be held. Review lectures will cover the entire field and the meeting should bring together scientists from all over the world from a wide variety of disciplines, and promote valuable discussion and exchange of information. In addition, it should serve the purposes of keeping existing workers fully up-to-date with all aspects of the subject and of initiating young investigators into this important area of research.
