9527873 Klinman Partial support is requested for the Gordon Research Conference on Isotopes in Biology and Chemistry to be held in Ventura, California, February 11-16, 1996. This long-standing conference has traditionally brought together investigators from a multitude of disciplines (e.g., physical and organic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and biological chemistry). As a result of its interdisciplinary nature, the Conference has served as a breeding ground for the generation of new concepts and methodologies in the biological sciences. Examples include the remarkable advances in enzymes kinetics that occurred in the 1980's: the recognition of the possible role of nuclear tunneling in enzyme reactions; the stimulation of a systematic study of the role of magnetic field effects in enzymatic reactions; the use of heavy atom isotope effects to probe plant physiology and evolution; etc. In recent years, the Conference has been moving increasingly into the area of biological chemistry. This trend is reflected in the current program which will range from a discussion of new aspects of H-transfer catalysis (low barrier hydrogen bonds, tunneling, and the role of proton pools in catalysis) to the use of isotopic probes to establish and characterize radical species in biological processes. A special session will be dedicated to a consideration of recent applications of heavy atom effects to characterize biological systems. Intermixed within this program will be sessions on both physical chemistry and reaction mechanisms. One particularly strong component of this conference is that it provides a format for the interaction of theoreticians with experimentalists. %%% Isotopes are widely used in biology and chemistry in order to follow processes and to understand function. This conference seeks to bring together scientists who use isotopes in an interdisciplinary manner in order to improve information exchange and allow exposure to new results. It is particularly important to the developm ent of biochemical tracer methodology that biologists be exposed to chemical applications of isotopes. ***

9527873 Klinman 请求为 1996 年 2 月 11-16 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行的戈登生物学和化学同位素研究会议提供部分支持。这个长期会议传统上汇集了来自多个学科的研究人员（例如，物理和有机化学、大气化学和生物化学）。 由于其跨学科性质，会议成为生物科学新概念和方法论产生的温床。 例子包括 20 世纪 80 年代酶动力学方面取得的显着进展：认识到核隧道效应在酶反应中的可能作用；促进对磁场效应在酶反应中的作用的系统研究；利用重原子同位素效应来探索植物生理学和进化；近年来，会议越来越多地转向生物化学领域。 这一趋势反映在当前的计划中，该计划的范围从讨论氢转移催化的新方面（低势垒氢键、隧道效应和质子池在催化中的作用）到使用同位素探针来建立和表征自由基生物过程中的物种。 一场特别会议将专门讨论重原子效应在表征生物系统方面的最新应用。 该计划中将混合物理化学和反应机制的课程。 这次会议的一个特别重要的组成部分是它为理论家与实验家的互动提供了一种形式。 %%% 同位素广泛应用于生物学和化学领域，以跟踪过程并理解功能。 本次会议旨在将跨学科使用同位素的科学家聚集在一起，以改善信息交流并接触新成果。 生物学家接触同位素的化学应用对于生化示踪方法的发展尤为重要。 ***
