EMBO WORKSHOP on PATTERNS IN PROTEIN SEQUENCE AND STRUCTURE
will be held at EMBL, Heidelberg, W.Germany, Oct. 2-4 1989
Organised by P Argos and W Taylor, in association with EBSA
The workshop will be held over a three day period. On each day there will be
a morning session (9-1) with four one hour lectures and in the evening of the
first two days there will be a session with five speakers giving half hour
talks (7-10). Afternoons on all three days will be reserved for discussions,
and informal gatherings (for those interested), including practical computer
sessions. Posible topics include the organisation of motif collections and
mechanisms for encouraging their exchange and distribution.
The current program is as follows:
Day 1 morning: Experimental aspects of motifs
A. Klug, MRC Cambridge, UK; Zinc fingers
W. Anderson, Univ. Alberta, Canada; DNA repressors
P. Gruss, Gottingen, W.Germany; Homeo box proteins
A. Dreyfuss, Northwestern, USA; RNP repeats
evening: Stuructural motifs
F. Cohen, UCSF, USA; AI and motif matching
A. Jones, Uppsala, Sweden; Structural fragment matching
K. Kirschner, Biozentrum, Switzerland; TIM barrels
J. Thornton, Birkbeck, London, UK; Secondary structure motifs
S. Fuller, EMBL, W. Germany; Virus beta-barrels
M. Sternberg, ICRF, London, UK; Tyrosine kinase motifs
Day 2 morning: Consensus sequences
