Official Information:

The biannual "Trends in Enzymology" (TinE) conference is an international Gordon-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 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.
