Dear Colleague:

     Final details for the Structural Biology Symposium at UTMB are
enclosed. If you have not already registered, we would like to
invite you and your colleagues to join us in our inaugural celebration
of the UTMB Structural Biology Program and the Sealy Center for Structural
Biology by participating in our Structural Biology Symposium
scheduled for March 1-3, 1996.  This meeting will bring together
scientists who are interested in applying insights from structural biology
and solution thermodynamics to solve biological and biomedical problems.
The speakers at the symposium are distinguished researchers from a wide
spectrum of scientific disciplines.

        If you are planning to attend the Symposium, please inform us of your
coming as well as who may be accompanying you by no later than  February
26th. Furthermore, if you intend to participate in the poster session, all
abstracts must be received no later than February 26th as well.
