This announcement solicits papers for a special track focusing on the understanding, and ultimately, the prediction, of protein structure, to be held as part of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB-98).
Preferred papers should describe approaches that lead to testable protein structure predictions. Predictive accuracy should be quantified and compared. Controls for homology and cross-validation should be stated explicitly. We encourage papers that test theories with experimental results across a large diverse set of proteins.
Poster and demo sessions are available for researchers who wish to exhibit their work at PSB, but do not wish to prepare a paper.
Physical submittors should send five copies of their paper to:
PSB-98
Electronic submission of papers is welcome. Format requirements for electronic submission will be available on the web page (http://psb.stanford.edu) or from Dr. Altman (altman@smi.stanford.edu). Electronic papers will be submitted directly to Dr. Altman.
All one page abstracts should be submitted electronically to Dr. Altman. Please send them in plain ascii text or as a Microsoft Word file.
PSB has received grants from NSF and DoE to support travel to PSB '98, and will be able to offer partial travel support to some PSB '98 participants. See http://psb.stanford.edu/ for more information.
