DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the Gordon Research Conference: Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology to be held at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine; July 16 through 21, 2006. This biennial conference has, for many years, had the reputation as the premier conference focusing on the development of the diffraction methods that are central to the elucidation of biomolecular structure. Sessions in the 2006 meeting include presentations about neutron diffraction, electron microscopy techniques, electron diffraction, and whole cell diffraction imaging. An increased interaction between all of these research areas is essential for the future development of the field of structural biology, in particular to address future NIH Roadmap initiatives that will tackle imaging problems across many orders of magnitude using a wide variety of experimental and computational techniques. Other sessions will be forums for the presentation and discussion of some of the new technologies being developed by NIGMS programs in structural genomics and membrane protein production. To advance the development of diffraction methods, leaders in the fields of X-ray data collection, analysis, structure determination and validation will present their recent methodological advances. This always provides a great opportunity for participants to learn directly from the developers of new methods, and take this knowledge back to their home institutions. Participants have previously included developers of diffraction methodology, and those applying these methods to studies of biomolecular structure and function. For 2006, the invitations outside the diffraction community are broadening the scope, the result of a conscious decision to bring together researchers from related, but currently not integrated, fields. Speakers will include some of the best known in the field, along with young investigators beginning to make their mark. Gordon conferences are informal with ample opportunity for approximately 125 participants to interact with about 30 speakers at meals and other events. Junior participation will be encouraged with time for discussion after talks and a session devoted to talks selected from the poster-presentations.

描述（由申请人提供）：请求为将在缅因州刘易斯顿贝茨学院举行的戈登研究会议：结构生物学中的衍射方法提供部分支持； 2006 年 7 月 16 日至 21 日。这一两年一度的会议多年来一直被誉为专注于衍射方法开发的顶级会议，而衍射方法对于阐明生物分子结构至关重要。 2006 年会议的会议包括有关中子衍射、电子显微镜技术、电子衍射和全细胞衍射成像的演讲。所有这些研究领域之间增加的相互作用对于结构生物学领域的未来发展至关重要，特别是解决未来的 NIH 路线图计划，该计划将使用各种实验和计算技术解决多个数量级的成像问题。其他会议将作为论坛，介绍和讨论 NIGMS 项目在结构基因组学和膜蛋白生产方面正在开发的一些新技术。为了推动衍射方法的发展，X 射线数据收集、分析、结构测定和验证领域的领导者将介绍他们最新的方法学进展。这始终为参与者提供了一个很好的机会，可以直接向新方法的开发人员学习，并将这些知识带回自己的机构。参与者之前包括衍射方法的开发人员以及将这些方法应用于生物分子结构和功能研究的人员。 2006 年，衍射界以外的邀请正在扩大范围，这是有意识地决定将来自相关但目前尚未整合的领域的研究人员聚集在一起的结果。演讲者将包括该领域一些最知名的人士，以及开始崭露头角的年轻研究人员。戈登会议是非正式的，为大约 125 名与会者提供了充足的机会，可以在用餐和其他活动中与大约 30 名发言者进行互动。将鼓励青少年参与，并在演讲后提供讨论时间，并安排专门讨论从海报展示中选出的演讲的会议。
