Fourteenth Enzyme Mechanisms Conference

The Fourteenth Biennial Conference on Enzyme Mechanisms, organized by C. Dale Poulter (chair), John W. Kozarich, David E. Cane, Rowena G. Matthews, and Christian P. Whitman, was held on January 5-8, 1995 at Scottsdale, Arizona. A total of 21 formal talks covering a broad array of topics in the general areas of enzyme mechanisms and bioorganic chemistry were given. In addition, two poster sessions were held with a total of 100 posters being presented. In the following, a brief synopsis of each of the major talks, as well as a few select references to recent work in the area of the talk, is given. Also, the titles and authors of the posters are listed. It is hoped that this brief summary of the meeting not only will indicate the types of studies currently of interest to mechanism-oriented bioorganic chemists, but also will serve as a starting point for those who wish to delve more deeply into the topics that were discussed.
