The Gordon Research Conference on "Nitric Oxide in Biochemistry and Biology" is designed to provide chemists, biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, clinicians, and other biomedical scientists with state of the art knowledge on nitric oxide and reactive nitrogen species in chemical and biological systems. This research conference is held every two years; the next meeting will be held February 4-8, 2001, at the Four Points Sheraton Harbortown Hotel, Ventura, California. Three conferences have been held since 1995 and they have proven to be extremely productive based on the large number of applicants and the post-meeting evaluations. Funding is specifically requested to support young investigators as session chairman and speakers as well as to partially support productive post docs and graduate students to attend the meeting. The speakers listed in this program were selected based on suggestions from previous chairs, co-chairs and attendees at the past conferences. Virtually all speakers have accepted the invitation to present their latest research on the biology and chemistry of nitric oxide. Topics to be covered include the roles of reactive nitrogen species in neurodegeneration, vascular disease and wound healing, novel strategies for the selective inhibition of nitric oxide synthase isozymes, reactions of NO with hemoglobin and other heme proteins and the biological effects of tyrosine nitration. In addition, Professor Louis Ignarro, the recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine, will present a Plenary Lecture entitled "The physiological role for N-hydroxyarginine during the synthesis of nitric oxide." Two separate poster sessions of two days each are scheduled for an anticipated 50-70 posters. Total attendance is limited to 135 by Gordon Conference rules. The Gordon Research Conference provides an excellent and needed forum for the diversity of both participants and research areas. The main strength of this Gordon Research Conference is the opportunity offered for scientists in different disciplines to interact in an extended and uninterrupted fashion. This type of interaction generally results in new collaborative research initiatives. The Gordon Research Conference focused on the biological chemistry of nitric oxide plays a crucial role in exploring frontier research in this important and clinically relevant field.

戈登研究会议“生物化学和生物学中的一氧化氮”旨在为化学家、生物学家、生物化学家、细胞生物学家、临床医生和其他生物医学科学家提供化学和生物系统中一氧化氮和活性氮的最新知识。该研究会议每两年召开一次；下一次会议将于 2001 年 2 月 4 日至 8 日在加利福尼亚州文图拉港镇四点喜来登酒店举行。自1995年以来已举办了三届会议，从大量的申请者和会后评估来看，会议非常富有成效。特别要求提供资金支持年轻研究人员担任会议主席和发言人，并部分支持富有成效的博士后和研究生参加会议。该计划中列出的发言人是根据过去会议的前任主席、联合主席和与会者的建议选出的。几乎所有演讲者都接受了邀请，展示他们关于一氧化氮生物学和化学的最新研究。涵盖的主题包括活性氮在神经退行性变、血管疾病和伤口愈合中的作用、选择性抑制一氧化氮合酶同工酶的新策略、NO与血红蛋白和其他血红素蛋白的反应以及酪氨酸硝化的生物效应。此外，1998年诺贝尔医学奖获得者Louis Ignarro教授将发表题为“N-羟基精氨酸在一氧化氮合成过程中的生理作用”的全体报告。安排了两次单独的海报会议，每次为期两天，预计将有 50-70 名海报。根据戈登会议规则，出席人数限制为 135 人。戈登研究会议为参与者和研究领域的多样性提供了一个优秀且必要的论坛。本次戈登研究会议的主要优势是为不同学科的科学家提供了以广泛且不间断的方式进行互动的机会。这种类型的互动通常会产生新的合作研究计划。专注于一氧化氮生物化学的戈登研究会议在探索这一重要且临床相关领域的前沿研究中发挥着至关重要的作用。
