                        10.-14. SEPTEMBER 1997
                           VIENNA, AUSTRIA
 The first ICMSB, organised by the Biophysical Chemistry subgroup of the
 Austrian Chemical Society (GOeCH), was held in Vienna in September 1995,
 and brought together a truly international group of scientists, from the
 fields of X-ray crystallography, NMR, molecular biology, structure
 prediction and computer modeling.
 The ICMSB97 will again bring together leading scientists from the wide
 range of topics that molecular structural biology encompasses, providing
 a stimulating forum for interaction and discussion between the different
 disciplines.
 The conference will take place in the beautiful central european city of
 Vienna.The unique blend of culture, history, and natural surroundings
 makes Vienna a very attractive conference location. The conference will
 take place from the evening of Wednesday 10. September to the afternoon
 of Sunday 14. Following the honorary lecture, which will be given by
 Dr. Max Perutz, on Wednesday evening, the next four days will include
 plenary lectures given by outstanding scientists from all over the world,
 plus short communications which will be selected from abstract submissions,
 and poster sessions. In addition, an entertainment and social programme
 will provide the participants with a taste of the cultural side of Vienna.
