The sponsors are: the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Medical University of South Carolina. The conference is organized by Ilya Vakser (Medical University of South Carolina) and Sandor Vajda (Boston University). PROGRAM topics: PROTEIN-PROTEIN DOCKING (structure prediction and binding simulation) ENERGETICS AND PROTEIN STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS (energy landscapes, stability of complexes, functional assignment of protein structures, binding site prediction) PROTEIN - SMALL MOLECULE INTERACTIONS (modulation of protein interactions by small molecules, protein mimetics) INTERACTING AND NONINTERACTING PROTEINS (identification of interactions and pathways) Confirmed Speakers include: Charles Brooks, Scripps Institute Adrian Elcock, University of Iowa Mark Gerstein, Yale University Adam Godzik, Burnham Institute Christopher Hogue, Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto Barry Honig, Columbia University Joel Janin, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Peter Karp, SRI International Edward Marcotte, University of Texas Andrew McCammon, University of California San Diego Ruth Nussinov, National Cancer Institute Arthur Olson, Scripps Institute Harold Scheraga, Cornell University Benno Schwikowski, Institute for Systems Biology Brian Shoichet, Northwestern University Jeffrey Skolnick, Danforth Center Michael Sternberg, Imperial Cancer Research Fund Lynn Ten Eyck, San Diego Supercomputer Center Shoshana Wodak, University Libre de Bruxelles Peter Wolynes, University of California San Diego ------------- PARTICIPATION The number of participants is limited to 100. In selecting participants, the preference will be given to those who would present a poster on the subject of the conference. If you would like to attend the conference, please submit a request, by e-mail only, to Ilya Vakser (vakseri@musc.edu) or Sandor Vajda (vajda@enga.bu.edu). Include a brief (a few sentences) description of your research, your full affiliation, position (faculty, postdoc, student, etc.), address (email and regular), and the day-time phone number. If you would like to present a poster, please include a half-page abstract. The deadline for the submission of applications is April 16. We will contact you by April 23 to let you know whether your application is accepted. If your application is accepted, we will communicate with you regarding the details of registration, accommodation, and travel. The early registration fee for the participants of the conference will be $200 ($100 for postdocs and students). Limited funds are available to support the participation of postdocs and students. The postdocs and students who wish to be considered for the financial assistance, please, indicate this in your application. The assistance will be provided in the form of reimbursement of your travel expenses, after the conference. The conference will take place at the Lightsey Conference Center in the Charleston historic district. Several hotels are located in the immediate vicinity of the Lightsey Conference Center. The hotel information will be provided in April. The details of the conference can be found at the conference web site, http://reco3.musc.edu/conference, which will be regularly updated. --- .
