DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal applies for support for the 16th Bacterial Cell Surfaces Gordon Conference, to be held from June 27 to July 2 at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. The traditional focus of this meeting is on the structure and function of bacterial membranes, including such topics as pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance and membrane transport, and these continue to be central themes in the next conference. Aided by high-resolution structural data on membrane proteins such as the AcrB multidrug efflux transporter, the BtuCD ABC ATPase, the Lac permease, the voltage-gated potassium channel and the GIpF aquaglyceroporin, the 2004 Conference will become a major platform for the discussion of mechanistic information obtained on integral membrane proteins. In addition, this meeting will expanded into the areas of bioterrorism and antibiotic resistance, with presentations in 2004 on the function, structure and regulation of toxins, phage lytic enzymes, and detailed discussions of beta-Iactamases. The proposed meeting should thus accomplish the goal of presenting the cutting-edge research in the area of molecular microbiology. The participants at the Bacterial Cell Surfaces Gordon Conference include the leaders in this field, drawn from academics, government and industry, as well as more junior scientists, including many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who represent the future of this area. A major use of the support sought in the current application is to assist such junior people in participating in this meeting. The Gordon Conference is organized to maximize the opportunity for discussion and for the presentation of the latest findings in this area, with poster sessions occurring every afternoon and discussion periods after each formal session.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案申请支持第 16 届细菌细胞表面戈登会议，该会议将于 6 月 27 日至 7 月 2 日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行。本次会议的传统焦点是细菌膜的结构和功能，包括发病机制、抗生素耐药性和膜运输等主题，这些仍然是下一次会议的中心主题。借助膜蛋白（如 AcrB 多药外排转运蛋白、BtuCD ABC ATPase、Lac 通透酶、电压门控钾通道和 GIpF 水甘油孔蛋白）高分辨率结构数据的帮助，2004 年会议将成为讨论以下问题的主要平台：从完整膜蛋白获得的机制信息。此外，这次会议将扩展到生物恐怖主义和抗生素耐药性领域，2004年将介绍毒素的功能、结构和调节、噬菌体裂解酶以及β-内酰胺酶的详细讨论。因此，拟议的会议应实现展示分子微生物学领域前沿研究的目标。 细菌细胞表面戈登会议的参与者包括来自学术界、政府和工业界的该领域的领导者，以及更多的初级科学家，其中包括许多代表该领域未来的研究生和博士后。当前申请中寻求的支持的一个主要用途是协助这些初级人员参加本次会议。戈登会议的组织目的是为了最大限度地增加讨论和展示该领域最新发现的机会，每天下午举行海报会议，并在每次正式会议后进行讨论。
