2010 Annual Inorganic Biochemistry Discussion Group (IBDG) Meeting:
METAL HOMEOSTASIS
10 and 11 September 2010 University of Newcastle, UK
The Annual IBDG meeting will be held on 10 and 11 September 2010 at the University of Newcastle, UK.
It is estimated that more than one third of all proteins require a metal ion for structure or function. Interest has grown in understanding how the correct metal is acquired by the correct protein. Given that many essential metals can be toxic if not managed correctly within a cell, mechanisms have evolved to ensure the safe delivery of metals to target proteins. This meeting will focus on the current understanind of the sequestering, sensing, chaperoning and storing of metals in biological systems.
