BMN report on Structural Biology conference, which has further links worth pursuing. - news.bmn.com ...Kungl says he is always refining the program of the conference to reflect current interest. At the next conference, to be held in 2003, Kungl hopes to put greater emphasis on protein function. He also noted that the field will be looking to tackle the structure of more of the bigger proteins. High throughput structural predictions can only be made for soluble, small proteins at the moment. "This is a major limitation," Kungl said. While many discussed improved methods for simulating protein structure from sequence data, no one claimed to have solved the protein-folding problem. No novel folds were announced. No one gave speeches about how easy things are now that the human genome project has been completed.
