SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
|
|
Symposium Objectives |
|
To provide a
forum for the presentation of advances in solid phase synthesis and
combinatorial chemistry as well as in complementary solution phase methods and
other non-classical technologies. |
|
To promote the
potential of the methods and the compounds synthesized for the solution of
problems in the biological and biomedical sciences, including drug discovery,
optimization and development. |
|
Biological targets
will include peptides, glycopeptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, DNA, RNA,
etc. |
|
Non-natural targets
will include mimetics and analogues of all kinds, including diverse small
organic molecules. |
|
The detailed Symposium
Lecture Programme is under development. The developing and final programmes
will be displayed on this Web Site in the weeks leading up to the Symposium. It
will include Keynote, Invited and Contributed Lectures. Where appropriate, some
of these will be grouped in parallel sessions. Such sessions may be held
jointly with the concurrent Satellite Symposium. |
|
|
|
CALL FOR LECTURE & POSTER ABSTRACTS
|
|
Contributed Lectures,
Oral and Poster Communications |
|
Abstracts for proposed
presentation are welcome at any time.
Participants wishing to offer a
Contributed Lecture, Oral (Short Lecture) or Poster but
who cannot yet
submit a full abstract may Submit an Abstract
Title Only.
The full Abstract may be submitted later.
|
|
Where Contributed Lecture,
Short Oral or Poster Communication
Sessions are oversubscribed with
contributions of high merit, preference
will be given to those Abstracts/
Abstract Titles received first.
Early submission is thus in Participant's
interests. |
|
|
Topics and Themes for
Abstract Submission |
|
The following list is
for guidance only. Contributed lectures, oral and poster abstracts on other
topics, in harmony with those listed, are welcome. |
-
Solid Phase Synthesis of peptides, polypeptides, glycopeptides,
lipopeptides, oligosaccharides, DNA, RNA, genes and proteins; peptide nucleic
acids, PNA, chimera and other hybrids, small organic molecules, mimetics of all
kinds; Combination of solid phase, enzymic and recombinant DNA-based methods;
purification, analysis and characterization of target molecules and
intermediates by HPLC, ion exchange, capillary electrophoresis,
etc.
-
Multiple and Combinatorial Synthesis in solid phase and solid phase /
solution synthesis leading to peptide, oligonucleotide and non-natural small
molecule organic chemical libraries. Microwave-assisted synthesis. Application
in the generation of bio-active species, e.g. drug lead discovery and
optimization, enzyme substrate mapping; Bio-active sequence location,
e.g. epitope mapping, sequencing by hybridisation.
-
Chemical Advances and Methodology including resin developments,
scavenger resins, protection and deprotection strategies; main chain and side
chain protecting groups; coupling methods; monitoring methods; target molecule
detachment; segment synthesis and segment condensation; microwave-assisted
synthesis, rapid and large scale synthesis, etc.
-
Computer Applications in solid phase and combinatorial chemistry; target
modelling and computer-aided design; modelling of supports and intermediate
assemblies.
-
Automated Synthesis and Instrumental Analysis including commercial
synthesizers, commercial sequencers, mass spectrometry and other methods.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.........Topics in Common with the
Concurrent Satellite Symposium.........

Drug Discovery, Development and Delivery - including small molecule
organics, nucleic acids and PNA, antisense strategies; drug design for
efficient delivery, etc.

Abstract Preparation
and Abstract Submission |
|
ABSTRACT
PREPARATION: Abstracts should be prepared in draft as follows. Type 12
characters to inch. Use 10pt font size and single space throughout. Use
CAPITALS for PAPER TITLE. Author's names (put asterisk * before presenter's
name), address and zip code, in capitals and lower case. Begin headings from
left hand margin. Optimum dimensions of the abstract, including title,
authors names and affiliation(s), are about 18cm width x 15cm height approx.
(270 sq cm area of text) printed out on A4 paper. |
|
ABSTRACT
SUBMISSION: Please E-mail the Abstract, as a MS Word
attachment,together with a copy of the Registration Form/ Provisional
Registration Form or a Registration Reference Number to Prof. Roger Epton -
E-mail: r.epton@mayflower.demon.co.uk
|
|
(Note:
Abstract transmission by MS Word E-mail attachment is
essential to facilitate text transcription for printing of the
Participant Abstract Book. Simple plain text E-mail transmission is not
recommended because features of the text can be irrevocably
lost. |
|
ACCEPTANCE OF
ABSTRACTS: Abstract acceptance for lecture, short lecture or poster
presentation will be decided on the grounds of intrinsic merit and relevance to
the main scientific coverage of the Symposium. The last named criterion will be
less rigidly applied for posters. |
