Project Summary/Abstract The 15th Computational Chemistry Gordon Research Conference (CC-GRC) will be convened at Mount Snow, Vermont during July 2014. The conference has been held in the summer of every even-numbered year beginning in 1986. Traditionally, the meeting covers a wide range of topics drawn from the interdisciplinary field of computational chemistry and molecular modeling. There is always a strong emphasis on development of new techniques across quantum chemistry, force fields and information/database-derived empirical potentials. Individual sessions on recently emerging application areas are also presented at each conference. One longstanding focus is the use of computer methodology the context of biochemical, biophysical and biomedical applications, such as refinement of biomolecular structure, protein folding, enzyme reaction mechanisms, biochemistry of ions, and nucleic acid interactions, to name just a few areas. The technical and development focus of the CC-GRC is complimentary to the Computer-Aided Drug Design GRC, a sister conference held in odd-numbered years. In addition to a balance of researchers from academic labs, foundations, and government and industrial labs, the conference has attracted a large number of postdoctoral and graduate student participants in recent years. In addition to a core group of repeat academic and industrial attendees, approximately half of the roughly 150 attendees are at their first Gordon Conference. For the first time in 2014, the CC-GRC will be preceded by a two-day Gordon Research Seminar in Computational Chemistry (CC-GRS), targeting younger scientists and including poster sessions, student research talks, networking opportunities, and mentoring from a select handful of senior researchers. CC-GRS attendees will stay for the main GRC during the immediately following week. The funds requested under this proposal will be used to offset travel and meeting registration expenses for scientists from smaller labs that may not have funds themselves, as well as student and postdocs attending the GRS and the main GRC.

项目概要/摘要 第15届计算化学戈登研究会议（CC-GRC）将在雪山召开， 2014 年 7 月在佛蒙特州举行。会议于每年偶数年的夏季举行 从 1986 年开始。传统上，会议涵盖跨学科领域的广泛主题 计算化学和分子建模。始终高度重视发展 跨越量子化学、力场和信息/数据库衍生的经验势的新技术。 每次会议上还会举办有关最近新兴应用领域的单独会议。一 长期以来的重点是在生物化学、生物物理和生物医学背景下使用计算机方法 应用，例如生物分子结构的细化、蛋白质折叠、酶反应机制、 离子的生物化学和核酸相互作用，仅举几个领域。技术及发展 CC-GRC 的重点是对计算机辅助药物设计 GRC 的补充，后者是在 奇数年。除了来自学术实验室、基金会和 政府和工业实验室，会议吸引了大量博士后和研究生 近年来的学生参与者。除了重复参加学术和工业活动的核心群体之外， 约 150 名与会者中约有一半是第一次参加戈登会议。 2014 年首次， CC-GRC 之前将举办为期两天的戈登计算化学研究研讨会 (CC-GRS)， 针对年轻科学家，包括海报会议、学生研究讲座、交流机会， 以及少数高级研究人员的指导。 CC-GRS 与会者将留下来参加主要的 GRC 在接下来的一周内。本提案要求的资金将用于抵消差旅费 以及为来自小型实验室的科学家支付注册费用，这些实验室本身可能没有资金 作为参加 GRS 和主要 GRC 的学生和博士后。
