NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN SEQUENCE ANALYSIS WORKSHOP FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHERS
Place:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Deadline:March 31, 1994.
  
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is offering a five-day workshop on
"Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis," May 29-June 3, 1994.  It is
funded by a grant from the National Center for Human Genome Research of
the National Institutes of Health.
  
The workshop will familiarize biomedical researchers with computational
methods and provide practice in applying supercomputing resources to
problems of concern in macromolecular sequence analysis.  Emphasis will be
on alignment of and pattern extraction from multiple sequences.
Participants will gain practical experience on PSC's Cray C-90 and T3D in
(1) comparing and aligning sequences, (2) identifying informative patterns
in a set of sequences, and (3) using extracted informative patterns to
identify related sequences.  Researchers will also learn several approaches
to database searching and  multiple sequence alignment, how to use profile
analysis effectively, and how to identify patterns in their sequences.
Participants are encouraged to bring sequence analysis problems from their
current research.  Extensive documentation will be given at the outset on
the VAX/VMS and UNICOS operating systems as well as on the specific programs
to be employed in the workshop.  No prior supercomputing experience is
required.
    
Workshop leaders are Dr. Gary Churchill, Cornell University, and Dr. Michael
Gribskov, San Diego Supercomputing Center.
  
A limited number of grants to cover travel and hotel accommodations are
available for U.S. academic participants.  ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED
TO PAY A $135 REGISTRATION FEE UPON ACCEPTANCE INTO THE WORKSHOP.  The
deadline for submitting applications is March 31, 1994.  Enrollment is
limited to 20 participants.  An application form is below.
   
Grants of supercomputing time to allow biomedical researchers to explore the
appropriateness of supercomputing for their computational problems are
available through a program funded by the Biomedical Research Technology
Program, National Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health.

******************************************************************
WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL  METHODS  FOR LARGE MOLECULAR SYSTEMS
                     Wroclaw, June 25-26, 1994

part of the 3-rd conference "COMPUTERS IN CHEMISTRY"
                                and
Satellite Symposium  of  8th  International  Congress  of  Quantum
Chemistry (possible microbus  transportation  from   Prague   to
           Wroclaw on June 24, 1994)


      This  workshop  organized  in  collaboration  with  National
Institute of Standards and  Technology  and  Center  for  Advanced
Research in Biotechnology in Gaithersburg, MD, USA is  devoted  to
review recent progress in development of quantum chemical  methods
for modelling large molecular  systems.  Many  chemical  processes
important for  biotechnology  or  materials  science  can  not  be
modelled now at molecular  level  due  to  the  extensive  size of
molecular  systems   involved   or   unsufficient   precision   of
contemporary computational methods. Therefore development  of  new
methods and techniques extending existing boundaries for  modeling
may open new avenues for rational design of new  biocatalysts  and
new materials with desired properties. Bringing  together  several
leading scientists having important contributions  in  this  field
should  open  the  possibility  to  initiate  or  expand   ongoing
collaborations, create future joint  projects  including  academic
and commercial sector and introduce graduate  students  into  this
rapidly growing field. Planned lectures will  cover  among  others
following  topics:   model   potentials   and   reaction   fields,
applications of local density functionals  in  modelling  chemical
reactions, direct SCF,  MP2  methods,  molecular  frozen  fragment
approach, treatment of relativistic effects, multicenter multipole
expansions,  design   of   optimal   catalysts,  modeling  protein
folding  etc.
   Refereed contributions will be published in  special  issue  of
international journal COMPUTERS & CHEMISTRY.

One source is Chemical Design Automation News which gets published once a
month.  Telephone is 617-438-8464 (Stoneham, MA).  They keep a pretty good
list, but it is by no means complete.

Other good sources would be societies related to your field.

Suggestions:

	This Spring's ACS is having a lot of molecular modeling sessions,
	but it may be too late for you to get in.  Tom Ferrin, in the CGL,
	is giving a talk there I believe.  Tom is at UCSF.  You might talk
	to him.

	American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in May.
	Being held in Washington , DC.  Telephone 301-530-7010 (FASEB)
	for info.

	Application of Computer-aided Molecualr Design in Chemicals,
	Materials, and Pharmaceuticals in San Diego (held during ACS in
	San Diego (March 13-18)

	Biophysical Society Meeting in March in New Orleans

	Computational Biology Mtg in Texas (April 24-26)
