“CALL FOR PAPERS” Abstract Submission Deadline - March 31, 2010
Session Name: 01.05 Structural Enzymology: Mechanistic (BioMac)
Day: Thursday morning July 29, 2010
Session Chair: Allen M. Orville, Brookhaven National Lab
Macromolecular crystal structures of ligand complexes or reactive
intermediates provide valuable mechanistic insight, but for which the
crystallographers often find themselves interpreting “mystery density”
within the data. Thus, the talks and posters in this session are intended
to highlight crystal structures and the use of techniques that provide
strong correlation(s) to the proposed reaction mechanism. This will
likely include important correlations with complementary kinetic and/or
spectroscopic techniques. Taken together, the multidisciplinary data
provides compelling insights into the proposed reaction mechanism that an
individual method has difficulty supporting in isolation.
Three invited speakers will be selected from the abstracts submitted for
the session. They will complement the three confirmed speakers:
Dr. Brian G. Fox, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, will
present new insights into the reaction cycle of diiron
hydroxylase-effector protein complexes.
Dr. George Richter-Addo, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, will
discuss recent work on the photochemistry of heme-based reactions with
single-crystal spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction.
Dr. Paul R. Carey, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH,
is a pioneer in single-crystal Raman microspectroscopy with applications
in RNA and enzyme-based catalysis.
Sincerely,
AMO
