2004 Computational Aspects/Biomolecular NMR Gordon Conf.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项会议拨款提案要求对将于1月18日至23日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行的2004年戈登生物分子核磁共振计算方面研究会议提供部分支持。会议主席是安·麦克德莫特(哥伦比亚大学)，联合主席是马丁·布莱克利奇(国际商学院，格勒诺布尔)。这次会议的目的是将工作在生物核磁共振前沿的科学家聚集在一起，促进前沿和出版前工作的自由交流，并确定探索计算以解决该领域难题的方向。戈登会议提供了一种传播信息和思想的宝贵手段，这种方式是通过通常的交流渠道--即在大型科学会议上发表出版物和演讲--无法实现的。这次会议是一年两次的会议中的第三次。从数据采集和分析到结构确定和柔性分析，计算在生物核磁共振的几乎每一个方面都扮演着至关重要的角色。为了反映该领域的全部广度，汇集了从事实验和计算的科学家的广泛的多国代表。会议的中心主题将是实验理论和计算的相互依存，以及新的计算可以为推进生物分子核磁共振的前沿做出贡献。会议将致力于新的结构和动力学信息源，计算机辅助分配，动态无序和结构异质性的处理，分子间相互作用，以及用溶液和固体核磁共振方法解决具有挑战性的结构目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This conference grant proposal requests partial support for the 2004 Gordon Research Conference on Computational Aspects of Bio-molecular NMR, to be held January 18-23 in Ventura, CA. The conference Chair is Ann McDermott (Columbia University), and the co-chair is Martin Blackledge (IBS, Grenoble). The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists working at the forefront of biological NMR, to foster free exchange of cutting edge, pre-publication work and to establish directions for exploring computation to solve difficult problems in the field. Gordon Conferences provide a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication, that is, publications and presentations at large scientific meetings. This meeting is the third in what is intended to be biannual conference. Computation plays a crucial role in virtually every aspect of biological NMR, from data acquisition and analysis to structure determination and flexibility analysis. In order to reflect the full breadth of the field, a broad multinational representation of scientists engaged in both experiment and computation has been assembled. Central themes of the conference will be the interdependence of experiment theory and computation and the contributions that novel computations can make to advancement of the frontiers of bio-molecular NMR. Sessions will be devoted to new sources of structural and dynamical information, computer aided assignment, treatment of dynamic disorder and structural heterogeneity, intermolecular interactions and solving ever challenging structural targets by solution and solid-state NMR methods.
