The workshop is open to researchers who have previously attended one of the PSC's annual "Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis" workshops or who have previous experience with computerized sequence analysis. The workshop will build on previous experience to teach techniques for what is commonly referred to as "homology modeling", specifically the methods known as threading techniques. This involves fitting the sequences of proteins whose structure is not known to the known three-dimensional structure of another protein. The workshop will feature the threading techniques developed by Dr. Stephen H. Bryant of the Computational Biology Branch, National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine. Dr. Bryant's work focuses on empirical energy functions that measure the complementarity of sequence and folding motif and on algorithms for rapid threading. His group is also developing computer programs for automatically creating homology models derived from core structural motifs identified by other sequence analysis techniques. Instructors are: Dr. Stephen H. Bryant, National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine Dr. Michael Gribskov, San Diego Supercomputer Center and Dr. Hugh B. Nicholas Jr., Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. APPLICATION DEADLINE: July 17, 1996.
