SEPTEMBER 10 - 14, 1997
VIENNA, AUSTRIA
Organized by the
Austrian Chemical Society
Working Group Biophysical Chemistry
Indroduction to the ICMSB'97
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first International Conference on Molecular Structural Biology (ICMSB=
)
took place in Vienna in September 1995, and was very well received by all=
who
took part, including over 200 participants from more than 20 countries
wordwide.
The organisers are pleased to announce the Second ICMSB, which will take =
place
from the 10th to 14th September 1997, and will feature internationally re=
nowned
speakers. The conference, which will focus on topics covering a number of=
the
most exciting areas in the field, will be opened by one of the
pioneers of molecular structural bioloby, Dr.Max Perutz. The following fo=
ur
days of the conference will include sessions on Structure and Prediction,
Macromolecular Interactions, Catalysis and Design, and Folding.
Vienna - A Unique Conference Location
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The conference will again be located at the Bundeswirtschaftskammer in Vi=
enna.
The city is a particularly attractive location for a conference, with its
combination of historical buildings, green parks, and modern architecture.
Some of the most famous city sights include Sch=94nbrunn Palace and the H=
ofburg,
former homes of the Habsburgs, St. Stephans Cathedral, and the colourful
Hundertwasser House. Also unique to Vienna is the Prater park, with its e=
ndless
green avenues and its funfair, featuring the "Riesenrad" (ferris wheel). =
Of
course, no trip to Vienna would be complete without a visit to one of the=
many
traditional Viennese cafes, for a piece of the famous Sachertorte.
