Program: DIMACS Workshop on Global Minimization of Nonconvex Energy Functions: Molecular Conformation and Protein Folding March 20-21, 1995 Organized by P.M. Pardalos, D. Shalloway and G. Xue Monday, March 20, 1995 Tuesday, March 21, 1995 The phase problem may be formulated as one in constrained global optimization. A method for avoiding the countless minima in order to arrive at the global minimum will be described. *************************************************************************** Simulation of Supramolecular Structures and Dynamics Klaus Schulten Beckman Institute and Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign ABSTRACT The advance of computational algorithms, e.g., multipole and multiple time scale algorithms, and of parallel computers, e.g., clusters of high end workstations coupled through fiber optic switches, allow today simulations of biopolymer systems of 100,000 atoms and more. This allowed us to apply molecular dynamics simulations to an important frontier of molecular biology, the study of biomolecular assemblies (supramolecules). The lecture will report the computational advances and address structures in which complexes of biopolymer form the smallest functional unit: complexes of proteins with single and double stranded DNA, the complex of phopholipase A2 with a biological membrane, the formation of the helical F-actin from G-actin monomers.

L'appello di 110 premi Nobel La minaccia maggiore per la pace mondiale verrà negli anni a venire non dai comportamenti irrazionali di stati o individui, ma dalle legittime richieste dei diseredati del mondo. La maggioranza di queste persone povere e senza diritti vive un'esistenza marginale nei climi equatoriali. Il surriscaldamento del pianeta - originato non da loro, bensì da pochi ricchi - colpirà soprattutto le loro fragili ecologie. La loro situazione sarà disperata e manifestamente ingiusta. Perciò non ci si può attendere che essi si accontentino sempre e comunque di aspettare la beneficenza dei ricchi. Se permetteremo dunque alla potenza devastante delle armi moderne di diffondersi in questo esplosivo paesaggio umano, innescheremo una conflagrazione in grado di travolgere tanto i ricchi quanto i poveri. La sola speranza per il futuro riposa nella collaborazione internazionale, legittimata dalla democrazia. È tempo di voltare le spalle alla ricerca unilaterale di sicurezza, in cui noi cerchiamo di rifugiarci dietro ai muri. Dobbiamo invece insistere nella ricerca dell'unità d'azione per contrastare sia il surriscaldamento del pianeta che un mondo armato. Questi obiettivi gemelli costituiranno due condizioni fondamentali per la stabilità, mentre ci muoveremo verso il più ampio grado di giustizia sociale che, esso solo, può dare una speranza di pace. Alcuni degli strumenti legali necessari sono già a portata di mano, come il trattato sui missili anti-balistici (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty), la convenzione sui cambiamenti climatici (Convention on Climate Change), i trattatti strategici sulla riduzione di armi (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties) e il Trattato sul bando dei test nucleari (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty). In quanto cittadini preoccupati, chiediamo a tutti i governi di impegnarsi per questi obiettivi, che costituiscono dei passi in avanti affinché il diritto prenda il posto della guerra.

Bessette, M.D., Executive Director Watson Ceremony Keynote Speech: Passing the Torch The Empire State Plaza, Albany February 10, 2003 I am truly honored to be here this afternoon to participate in this first-of-its-kind ceremony where winners of the James D. Watson Investigator Program award will receive special recognition for their leadership and scientific discovery in the field of biotechnology. Thanks to the foresight and the support of Governor George Pataki, Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno and Speaker Sheldon Silver, they passed a program that provided $2 million in awards to recognize and support outstanding scientists and engineers who, early in their careers, show potential for leadership and scientific discovery in the field of biotechnology. In announcing the awards, the Governor noted that this support for our finest young biotechnology scientists and engineers will help to further secure New York's role as an international leader in high-tech and biotechnology research and economic development. The Governor added that these grants will support the world-class research being performed by some of the best young minds at New York's colleges and universities. Speaking of young minds, I would like to take a moment and recognize 17-year-old Von Narendra. Von is one of 40 national finalists of the

Senate Bill S. 507. We hold that Congress, before embarking on a revision of our time tested patent system, should hold extensive hearings on whether there are serious flaws in the present system that need to be addressed and if so, how best to deal with them. This is especially important considering that a delicate structure such as the patent system with all its ramifications should not be subject to frequent modifications. We believe that S. 507 could result in lasting harm to the United States and the world. First, it will prove damaging to American small inventors and thereby discourage the flow of new inventions that have contributed so much to America's superior performance in the advancement of Science and Technology. It will do so by curtailing the protection they obtain thorough patents relative to the large multi-national corporations. Second, the principle of prior user rights saps the very spirit of that wonderful institution that is represented by the American patent system established in the Constitution since 1787, which is based on the principle that the inventor is given complete protection but for a limited length of time, after which the patent, fully disclosed in the application and published at the time of issue, becomes in the public domain, and can be used by anyone, under competitive conditions for the benefit of all final users. It will do so by giving further protection to

Bush not to act against Iraq if the U.S. lacks international support. The moving force behind the declaration was Walter Kohn, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a 1998 chemistry laureate. "The undersigned oppose a preventive war against Iraq without broad international support," the declaration reads. "Military options against Iraq may lead to a relatively swift victory in the short term. But war is characterized by surprise, human loss, and unintended consequences. Even with a victory, we believe that the medical, economic, environmental, moral, spiritual, political, and legal consequences of an American preventive attack on Iraq would undermine, not protect, U.S. security and standing in the world." The other eight chemistry laureates who signed the declaration are Paul Berg, 1980, Stanford University; Paul D. Boyer, 1997, UC Los Angeles; Robert F. Curl Jr., 1996, Rice University; Herbert A.

Nobel Prize winners against the aggression on Croatia Many people throughout the world contributed to the international recognition of Croatia (January 15, 1992). We would like to present a list of 104 Nobel prize winners (in alphabetic order) who signed an appeal to stop the aggression of the Yugoslav Army on Croatia that started in 1991 (The New York Times, January 14th, 1992). We do this we the feeling of deepest gratitude. An Appeal by 104 Nobel Laureates FOR PEACE IN CROATIA During the past several weeks the Yugoslav Army has escalated its war against Croatia. Dozens of villages have been razed. Many historical monuments have been destroyed. Several cities, including Croatia's capital of Zagreb, have been bombed. Over 2,000* people have been killed. The undeclared war has already produced more than 100,000* refugees. The violence and destruction unleashed in Croatia is on a scale unknown in Europe since the Second World War. Innocent civilians are massacred. Hospitals and places of worship are destroyed. Conscience demands that we raise our voices against this senseless war. We appeal to the Western and Eastern governments to stop the Yugoslav Army wanton destruction.

Un documento che parla di clima e di trattato anti-missili, di poveri che reclamano e di muri costruiti dai ricchi, ma che finisce per colpire al cuore le scelte del paese più potente del mondo: gli Stati Uniti d'America Per sopravvivere nel mondo che abbiamo trasformato dobbiamo imparare a pensare in modo nuovo.

80. Nobel Prize Winners Support Basic Science Americans have been awarded more than onehalf of all nobel Prizes in H. Hubel,MD, J. Michael Bishop, MD, Stanley Cohen, Ph.D., herbert A. hauptman, Ph.D http://www.sdsc.edu/SDSCwire/v2.13/nobelists.html

Nobel Prize Winners Seek Stronger Support for Basic Science The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Science Policy News Number 101: June 26, 1996 The letter, dated June 19, follows: "Dear President Clinton and Members of Congress: "As men and women who have helped to shape the modern scientific age and who care deeply about the future of our nation, we urge you to reaffirm the fundamental role of the federal government in supporting basic scientific research. "Americans have been awarded more than one-half of all Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine since 1945. This impressive success is no accident, but the result of a firm and consistent commitment by the federal government to basic science research at our universities. Our nation's policymakers and public have been prudent investors because their support has paid off in tremendous ways. "America's investment in research over the last fifty years has been a vital source of our economic and political strength around the world, as well as the quality of life Americans enjoy at home. The polio vaccine, computers, jet propulsion and disease resistant grains and vegetables are some of the thousands of advances pioneered at our universities that have had dramatic benefits for our health, economy, security and quality of life. "New and equally breathtaking advances may be just around the corner. Genetic research, for example, gives promise of better treatments for Alzheimer's, cancer and other diseases. Lighter and stronger composite materials may be developed with important applications in transportation, medicine and the military. Continuing support for university-based research will not only pave the way for these important breakthroughs, but will also train the next generation of pioneers and Nobelists.
