On behalf of the 3DSig organising committee,
I would like to bring to your attention the approaching deadline to
submit an abstract to the forthcoming 3DSig 2007: Structural
bioinformatics and computational biophysics ISMB satellite meeting to
be held on July 19-20 in Vienna, Austria.
http://structure.bu.edu/3DSig/
The deadline for abstract submissions is June 1st. Authors can
choose to present their contribution as a laptop presentation and/or
a poster (which may be the same as that to be presented in the main
ISMB event). Furthermore, contributions can be selected for oral
presentations.
Registration for 3DSig does not require registration for the main
ISMB event.
The third 3Dsig meeting will consist of two full days with a balance
of invited talks, short oral presentations, two laptop/poster-
sessions, critical, topic-focused discussions and a dinner session. A
truly unique event bringing together in one place the structural
computational biology community.
Relevant topics include among others:
Structure representation, structure prediction, structural genomics
Structural databases and 3D data mining
Structure-based function prediction
Evolution studied through structure
Protein-protein, protein-ligand, and protein-RNA/DNA interactions
(docking, analysis & prediction)
Prediction and analysis of domains
Membrane protein structure prediction and analysis
The role of geometry and energetics in protein and RNA structure and
function
Protein and RNA dynamics and simulation: folding, stability,
interactions, conformational gating
Computer-aided protein and RNA design
Structure-based drug design and pharmacophore analysis
Chemoinformatics
3Dsig 2007 is continuing the tradition established through the
successful 3Dsig 2006 and 3Dsig 2004. To better appreciate the wealth
of leading topics and presenters, please explore the programs and
proceedings from past 3Dsig 2004 and 2006 meetings. The program will
be built around talks from accepted abstracts and invited speakers.
The scientific committee is looking for fresh, effective voices with
new, high impact ideas. Accepted abstracts will fall into two
categories: oral presentation and laptop/poster presentation.
Participants with accepted abstracts for the latter type will have
the choice of presenting their work as either a regular poster, a
laptop presentation, or a combination thereof. Those choosing to use
a laptop to substitute or augment their poster presentation will have
a stand or table and electric socket for a personal laptop
(presenters must bring their own laptops). The aim of the poster/
laptop session is to facilitate interactions between the presenter
and the viewers.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
