International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案申请支持将于2005年7月31日至8月5日在密歇根大学安娜堡分校举行的第12届国际生物无机化学会议。这次会议传统上关注无机化学的生物学方面，涵盖了广泛的主题。在下一次ICBIC会议上，将分别讨论以下主题：成像、药物生物无机物、金属离子毒性/抗药性、金属氧化应激、金属蛋白质设计、蛋白质折叠结构动力学、生物有机金属、电子转移、理论计算、钼与钨、锌、钒、固氮酶、金属酶自由基催化剂、血红素、环境生物无机、生物材料、生物能量学、光系统II、氧化酶、金属调节、金属离子稳态、生物矿化和小分子传感器。这次会议将介绍无机生物化学领域的前沿研究。ICBIC12的特邀讲师参与者包括在各自领域的领导者中。许多研究生和博士后研究员将出席会议，代表这一领域的未来。在这项申请中寻求的支助的主要用途将主要帮助会议的初级与会者，特别是妇女和其中的少数群体。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal applies for support for the 12th International Conference on Biological Inorganic Chemistry, ICBIC, to be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI from July 31st to August 5th 2005. This meeting traditionally is concerned with biological aspects of Inorganic chemistry and covers a wide variety of topics. In this next ICBIC meeting, the topics that will be covered in individual sessions are: Imaging, Medicinal Bioinorganics, Metal ion Toxicity/resistance, Metal Oxidative Stress, Metalloprotein Design, Protein Folding Structural Dynamics, Bioorganometallic, Electron Transfer, Theoretical Calculations, Molybdenum and Tungsten, Zinc, Vanadium, Nitrogenase, Metalloenzyme Radical Catalysts, Hemes, Environmental Bioinorganic, Biomaterials, Bioenergetics, Photosystem II, Oxidases, Metalloregulation, Metal Ion Homeostasis, Biomineralization and Small Molecule Sensors. This meeting will be presenting cutting-edge research in the area of inorganic biochemistry. The invited lecturers' participants of ICBIC 12 are included among the leaders in their fields. Many graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will attend the meeting representing the future of this area. A major use of the support sought in this application will assist mainly the junior participants of the meeting and particularly women and minorities among them.
