GLOBAL ENERGY MINIMIZATION AND PROTEIN FOLDING

Abstracts Due April 15, 1996

A symposium entitled "Global Energy Minimization and Protein Folding" will be 
held at the ACS Meeting in Orlando, Florida, during August 25-30, 1996. Topics 
will comprise, among others, of algorithms for global optimization, aspects of 
parallel computing, new methods for the prediction of secondary and tertiary 
structure, and large scale molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics 
simulations.

A partial list of invited speakers includes: B. Eskow (University of 
Colorado); C. A. Floudas (Princeton University); R. Judson (Sandia National 
Laboratories); J. Onuchic (University of California, San Diego); H. A. 
Scheraga (Cornell University); J. Straub (Boston University); D. Thirumalai 
(University of Maryland); A. Tropsha (University of North Carolina).
