PROTEIN STRUCTURE: Models, Folds, and Function Analyses Applications for Target Validation
	Cambridge Healthtech Institute , McLean, Virginia October 26-27, 2000
	Sequencing of the Human Genome has increased the number of candidate proteins for clinical development and therapeutic use. Efforts are underway to identify and understand biological mechanisms that exist between proteins and to get information on the structure of proteins as they exist within biological complexes. A major challenge is to understand how proteins fold, and how protein structure relates to protein function. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Second Annual Protein Structure is designed to provide in depth coverage of recent developments in the field of structure determination, the integration of such information into databases and their relationship with other relevant databases including those containing protein-protein interactions. Structural genomics will be reviewed including prediction of function from structure and implication of protein structure determination in the validation of targets for drug discovery and leads development.
