Dates
29 October - 3 November 2005
Location
Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
The conference will take place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, on the Spanish Costa Brava, 120 km north of Barcelona and 30 km south of Girona. Group transportation will be arranged from/to Barcelona airport, on arrival and departure days.
Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants
Recent developments in chemistry and molecular biology have led to a substantial expansion of the spectrum of methods available for the production of proteins and protein analogues. The limitations of semi-classical approaches like overexpression on the one hand and peptide synthesis on the other hand no longer dictate the availability of proteins with tailor-made structural and functional properties. The capability to manipulate protein structures in a completely controlled fashion will be of crucial importance in basic biological research, in biotechnology and increasingly also in medical applications.
It is the aim of this conference to explore the potentials of chemistry applied to biochemistry and cellular biology bringing together scientists from three disciplines: Biochemistry, Biophysics and Chemistry.
