Trends in Enzymology 2012  
“Going beyond frontiers”  
Göttingen, Germany – June 3rd - 6th


Dear Colleagues,  

we are very pleased to invite you to the international conference  

"Trends in Enzymology 2012: Going beyond frontiers"  

The biannual "Trends in Enzymology" (TinE) conference is an international Gordon Conference-style  
conference that brings together enzymologists from different backgrounds in an inspiring atmosphere to  
share the latest and most exciting results in the  field of mechanistic and applied enzymology. The fourth  
edition will take place from June 3rd
-6th
2012 in Goettingen (Germany), the "City of Science" and home of  
44 Nobel prize winners. The TinE conference has emerged as an excellent venue for graduate students and  
Post-docs to interact with established investigators.  

Recent years have witnessed pioneering advancements in various biophysical techniques, which are  
essential for the elucidation of enzymatic mechanisms at a molecular or even atomic level. In fact, these  
advancements have made possible to break existing barriers of knowledge and to go beyond frontiers. The  
"Trends in Enzymology conference 2012" will address key methodological advancements and cutting-edge  
findings on the molecular mechanisms of enzymes with Sessions on:  

-  Advancements in technology/methods  
-  Metalloenzymes  
-  Enzyme mechanisms  
-  Dynamics and catalysis  
-  Computational methods  
-  Drug design/medicinal enzymology  
-  Cofactor biosynthesis  

Confirmed speakers include:  Gregory Petsko, Holger Dobbek, Oliver Einsle, Michael Green, Juan  
Fontecilla-Camps, Daniela De Biase, Peter Macheroux, Nigel Scrutton, Russ Hille, Marina Bennati, Ilme  
Schlichting, Brian Bennett, Holger Stark, Peter Roach, Silke Leimkühler, Vicente Moliner, Nigel Richards,  
Mike McLeish, Dimitrios Pantazis, Tom Meek.  


The number of participants is limited to 120.   

PhD students may apply for financial support (students grants-in aid). The best poster contributions will be  
invited for oral presentations.
