Cambridge, UK Further information
Annual Symposium of the Biochemical Society. The symposium places great emphasis on the role of catalysis in key biological processes, ranging from signalling, apoptosis, respiration and photosynthesis, to antibiotic synthesis and related secondary metabolism. The meeting will seek to emphasise the detailed/unique information emerging from reductionist approaches, and how to integrate with high-throughput approaches characteristic of the systems biology era. Reductionist approaches are particularly powerful when applied in a multidisciplinary setting, and there is the need to transcend the inherent limits of individual disciplines (e.g. crystallography, molecular modelling) to provide state-of-the-art dynamic insight into enzyme function.
