Welcome

On behalf of the organizing committees, we cordially invite you to attend the first edition of the Conformational Analysis of Carbohydrates & Protein/Carbohydrate Interactions (CAC-PCI) that will be held in 2011, on July 2nd, in Naples, Italy, at the Partenope Conference Centre as a satellite workshop of the European Carbohydrate Symposium (Eurocarb XVI) that will be held in Sorrento (Naples, Italy) from 3 to 7 July, 2011 .

The meeting intends to explore the various aspect of conformational analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and of protein-carbohydrate interaction, from the experimental tools and to the biological and biotechnological implications by means of several state of art techniques (NMR spectroscopy, crystallography, molecular modelling).

Main topics:
- Conformational Analysis of Carbohydrates
- Computational Aspects of Carbohydrate Modeling
- Spectroscopic Determination of Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions
- Crystallography Applied to Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions 
- New Tools and Methods in Carbohydrate Structural and Conformational Analysis

We look forward to welcoming you in Naples!
