Molecular & Cellular Bioenergetics Gordon Conf. 2005

描述（由申请人提供）：分子和细胞生物能量学戈登会议将于2005年6月26日至7月1日在新罕布什尔州梅里登的金博尔联合学院举行。虽然这次会议的传统重点是电子传递和氧化磷酸化的机制，但会议现在包括更多的细胞生物能量学内容。这一变化承认了大量的近期数据，这些数据突出了高分辨率结构信息对理解细胞生物学过程的贡献，以及生物能量过程在衰老和疾病中的重要性。本次会议将继续展示膜蛋白的高分辨率结构和生物能量问题的最新生化方法的传统，但也将纳入一些会议，重点是整合细胞和分子生物能量学。会议将讨论生物能量复合物的高分辨率结构、V型和f型atp酶、体内pH梯度的调节、生物能量学和疾病、生物能量学的基因组学和蛋白质组学方法、呼吸链复合物的组装、电子传递复合物的结构和功能以及线粒体生物学的新领域。分子和细胞生物能量学戈登会议有100-120人出席，它吸引了该领域的领导者，来自学术界，政府和工业界，以及年轻的科学家（研究生，博士后研究员和助理教授）。戈登会议的形式旨在最大限度地扩大讨论的机会，并鼓励提出该领域的最新成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Molecular and Cellular Bioenergetics Gordon Conference will be held June 26-July 1, 2005 at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire. Although the traditional focus of this meeting has been on mechanisms of electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation, the conference now includes greater content of cellular bioenergetics. This change recognizes substantial recent data highlighting the contributions of high resolution structural information to understanding cell biological processes and the importance of bioenergetic processes in aging and disease. The proposed conference will continue the tradition of presenting high resolution structures of membrane proteins and state-of-the art biochemical approaches to bioenergetic problems, but will also incorporate a number of sessions with a focus on integrating cellular and molecular bioenergetics. Sessions on high-resolution structures of bioenergetic complexes, V- and F-type ATPases, regulation of pH gradients in vivo, bioenergetics and disease, genomic and proteomic approaches to bioenergetics, assembly of respiratory chain complexes, structure and function of electron transport complexes, and new frontiers in mitochondrial biology are proposed. The Molecular and Cellular Bioenergetics Gordon Conference has an attendance of 100-120, and it attracts leaders in the field, drawn from academics, government, and industry, as well as younger scientists (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and assistant professors). The format of the Gordon Conference is designed to maximize opportunities for discussion and to encourage presentation of the latest results in the field.
