3Dsig 2007

A satellite meeting of the annual conference of the
International Society for Computational Biology (
ISCB).

This year's 3Dsig will take place in the 2 days preceeding ISMB/ECCB 2007.


We are happy to announce the third 3Dsig meeting. Two full days with a balance of invited talks, short oral presentations, two laptop/poster-sessions, and critical, topic-focused discussions. A truly unique event bringing together in one place the structural computational biology community.


• Relevant topics include:
• Structure representation, structure prediction, structural genomics
• Structural databases and 3D data mining
• Structrue-based function prediction
• Evolution studied through structure
• Protein-protein, protein-ligand, and protein-RNA/DNA interactions (docking, analysis & prediction)
• Prediction and analysis of domains
• Membrane protein structure prediction and analysis
• The role of geometry and energetics in protein and RNA structure and function
• Protein and RNA dynamics and simulation: folding, stability, interactions, conformational gating
• Computer-aided protein and RNA design
• Structure-based drug design and pharmacophore analysis

Keynote Speakers include:
Kevin Karplus, University of California Santa Cruz
Thomas Lengauer, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik
Burkhard Rost, Columbia University
Janet Thornton, European Bioinformatics Institute
Anna Tramontano, University of Rome
Sandor Vajda, Boston University

3Dsig 2007
is continuing the tradition established through the successful 3Dsig 2006 and 3Dsig 2004. To better appreciate the wealth of leading topics and presenters, please explore the programs and proceedings from past 3Dsig 2004 and 2006 meetings. The program will be built around talks from accepted abstracts and invited speakers.The scientific committee is looking for fresh, effective voices with new, high impact ideas.

Accepted abstracts will fall into two categories: oral presentation and laptop/poster presentation. Participants with accepted abstracts for the latter type will have the choice of presenting their work as either a regular poster, a laptop presentation, or a combination thereof. Those choosing to use a laptop to substitute or augment their poster presentation will have a stand or table and electric socket for a personal laptop (presenters must bring their own laptops). The aim of the poster/laptop session is to facilitate interactions between the presenter and the viewers.
