FINAL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR THE "STATE-OF-THE-ART BIOTECHNOLOGY" SYMPOSIUM AT THE 1991 ASBMB/FASEB MEETING

This unique session, which is jointly sponsored by the ABRF and the ASBMB Educational Affairs Committee, will both provide an overview of the current "state-of-the-art" in protein chemistry as well as highlight recent methodological, technological and computational advances in a wide range of emerging biotechnologies. Ken Williams will chair the symposium on Monday, April 22, 1991 from 2:30 to 5:30 PM in Atlanta, Georgia. The topics will be:

• 2:30 Amino acid analysis and sequencing: What is state-of-the-art? D.W. Speicher, Wistar Institute.
• 2:45 Internal amino acid sequencing from SDS polyacrylamide gel-separated proteins. K. L. Stone, et al., HHMI and Yale University.
• 3:10 Protein sequence analysis by mass spectrometry: new methods and instrumentation. D. F. Hunt, University of Virginia.
• 3:35 Extracting structural and functional information from protein sequences. J. U. Bowie and D. S. Eisenberg, UCLA.
• 4:00 Automated DNA sequencing of neurotransmitter receptor genes and diseased regions of human chromosomes. J. C. Venter, NIH.
• 4:25 The current use of peptides in biomedical research: needs and approaches. R. A. Houghten. Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies.
• 4:50 Practical applications of capillary zone electrophoresis. M. Ng, K. Adubafour, T. F. Blacschke, and R. N. Zare. Stanford University.
• 5:15 Biomolecular core facilities: delivery of state-of-the-art technology. R. L. Niece, University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center.
