Dear Netters,

Please find enclosed the announcement of MAC'95 Symposium. The information
below is part of the First Circular. Since some subjects of the Symposium
is devoted to computer-aided drug design I am sending the announcement 
also to CCL list.
Please note that the full information about MAC'95 is available 
through mosaic: http://www.pg.gda.pl/chem/mac95.html
You can also use e-mail: [email-masked]
to order the Second Circular or to registrate.

Sincerely,

begining of the Announcement
------------------------------------

5th International Symposium on
MOLECULAR ASPECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY
*******************************************************************
under the auspices
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF CHEMOTHERAPY
organized by
Committee on Drug Research Polish Academy of Sciences 
and Technical University of Gdansk
Gdansk, Poland, August 21-24, 1995

GENERAL PROGRAM
The Symposium is intended to bring together scientists representing 
different disciplines related to molecular aspects of chemotherapy: 
biorganic and physical organic chemists, biochemists, enzymologists, 
biophysicists, crystallographers, quantum chemists, clinicians. 
Molecular approaches to immune defense modulating agents, control of 
gene expression, etc. will also be included. While aimed primarily 
at problems of control in eukaryotic systems, prokaryotes will be 
included. The meeting should contribute to further development of 
a rational basis for drug design.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Five half-day sessions are scheduled for plenary and half-hour lectures 
by invited authorities. Several poster and oral presentation sessions 
are also planned.
The following topics will be covered:
- structural basis of biological properties of active agents
- molecular mechanisms of drug-target interactions (nucleic acids, 
  proteins and enzymes, membranes, etc.)
- molecular mechanisms of selectivity of drug action
- molecular mechanisms of drug resistance
- new targets and drug prototypes
- availability of drugs at target sites (transport, metabolic activation 
  and inactivation, drug targeting)
- rational drug design
- bioorganic chemistry of immunomodulating agents
The Proceedings, comprising the text of invited speakers, and extended 
abstracts of selected free communications, will be published in a special 
volume.
