Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

 

Conference - Saxtons River, VT, United States

 

This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) focuses on advances made and current challenges around obtaining a complete mechanistic understanding of how events in the transcription process are regulated in prokaryotes. The long standing meeting reflects the use of structural biology (eg from X-ray crystallography and cryo electron microscopy) and biophysical approaches (eg single molecule studies) alongside exploiting modern genetic and biochemical methodologies to gain mechanistic insights. Progress with established model systems and emerging new paradigms are reflected in the program. Hence the program ranges from the cellular to the atomic in its description of the basic processes working to allow gene expression in an orderly and controlled manner. A full understanding these processes has importance for not only the basic science behind the actions of prokaryotes as important agents in their own right but also for their use in biotechnology and synthetic biology.
