Call for Papers

Lectures and poster sessions planned for the Symposium include:

• Synthetic methodologies, including large-scale synthesis
• Peptide conjugates, including glycopeptides and phosphopeptides
• Solid-phase organic synthesis and combinatorial methods
• Analytical and biophysical methods
• Design and folding
• Peptide-based biomaterials
• Peptide and peptidomimetic therapeutics and delivery
• Membrane-active peptide antibiotics and neurotoxins
• Proteases and protease inhibitors
• Mechanisms of angiogenesis and metastasis
• Signal transduction, including G-protein-coupled transmembrane receptors
• Apoptosis
• Immunological roles for peptides, including vaccine development
• Molecular mechanisms of amyloid-based diseases
• Proteomics

Original contributions in these and related areas are encouraged. Abstracts may be submitted with the form enclosed in the brochure (go to contact information if you want a copy sent to you), or by a variety of ways through this Symposium web site (for options and further instructions, go to Abstract submission).

The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 31, 1999. Abstract receipt will be acknowledged by mail. Speakers will be selected by the Program Committee from the abstracts submitted. Selections will be made by the end of March 1999. All presenting authors will be notified of results shortly thereafter, and are reminded that they need to be registered Symposium participants.
