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）：该提案适用于6月27日至7月2日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的Colby-Sawyer College举行的第16个细菌细胞表面Gordon会议的支持。这次会议的传统重点是细菌膜的结构和功能，包括发病机理，抗生素耐药性和膜运输等主题，这些主题在下一次会议上仍然是中心主题。在膜蛋白上的高分辨率结构数据（例如ACRB多剂量外排Transporter，BTUCD ABC ATPase，LAC Persease，lac Persease，电压门控钾通道和GIPF Aquagyceroporin）的帮助下，2004年会议将成为在整体膜中获得机制信息的主要平台，以讨论获得整合元素蛋白质的机械信息。此外，这次会议将扩展到生物恐怖和抗生素耐药性的领域，并在2004年就毒素，噬菌体裂解酶的功能，结构和调节以及β-糖酶的详细讨论进行了介绍。因此，拟议的会议应实现在分子微生物学领域提出尖端研究的目标。 细菌细胞表面戈登会议的参与者包括学者，政府和工业的领导者，以及更多的初级科学家，包括许多代表该地区未来的研究生和博士后研究员。当前申请中寻求的支持的主要用途是帮助此次会议参加这次会议。戈登会议的组织是为了最大程度地讨论和介绍该领域的最新发现的机会，每天下午举行海报会议，每次正式会议之后进行讨论期。
