Format of the Meeting
The Conference will consist of three morning and two evening
sessions over a period of three nights and days (Thursday afternoon
through Sunday morning). Each session will be comprised of four 30-minute
talks interspersed by question-and-answer periods of 15-20 minutes. A
chair is assigned to each session who is responsible for facilitating the
discussion, introducing new themes if necessary and providing overview.
The chairs will also review submitted poster abstracts for
especially pertinent material that might be included in the discussion
periods.
Afternoons are free for discussion and workshops (some
planned, other impromptu). One workshop is being planned on the topic
"Integrated data bases: sequence, structure, taxonomy and literature"
which would include demos. Other topics are currently being solicited
from participants. As at the 1992 Albany Conference on Computational
Biology, a workshop will be held on
Thursday afternoon to introduce non-biologists to the main issues of
macromolecular structure and phylogeny to be addressed at the meeting.
Friday, September 29th:
Session 1: 3-D Structural Relationships Among Proteins
Session 2: Data Bases
Saturday, September 30th:
Session 3: Phylogenetic Methods and Protein Evolution
Session 4: Applications to Molecular Evolution
Sunday, October 1st:
