Alpbach Workshop:Coiled-Coils, Collagen/Co-proteins

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的会议是“关于卷曲线圈，胶原蛋白和共蛋白的Alpbach研讨会”，将在奥地利Alpbach举行。这是在这些关键科学领域非常成功的一系列会议中的第四次会议。这次国际会议的目标是尽可能广泛地接触科学研究者，与会者包括各级大学教职员工、研究生、博士后和高级博士后。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed meeting is "The Alpbach Workshop on Coiled-Coils, Collagen and Co-proteins," to be held in Alpbach, Austria. It is the fourth of a highly successful series of meetings in these key scientific areas. With the goal of reaching as broad a spectrum of science investigators as possible, this international meeting includes participants such as university faculty members at all levels, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and senior postdoctoral fellows. The Workshop format of the meeting is unique in that a chairperson is responsible for inviting two to four lead speakers from the international community to give presentations during their session. In addition, the meeting organizers and the chairpersons of the various sessions will also pick other speakers from each session's participants at the meeting, with participants being encouraged to present posters of their work. Topics to be covered are coiled-coils, myosin filaments and motors, actin filaments, amyloid, prion and beta structures, intrinsically unstructured proteins, intermediate filament associated proteins, extracellular matrix proteins and microtubules and motors. This range of topics encompasses a wealth of scientific endeavors resulting in a more thorough fundamental understanding of physiological and biochemical processes, as well as furthering the potential for such cutting edge areas as de novo design of proteins for novel applications.
