Sixteenth Midwest Enzyme Chemistry Conference

The 16th annual midwest conference on enzyme chemistry, organized by Ronald Viola (Program Chair) and David Lynn (Site Chair), was held on October 12, 1996, on the campus of the University of Chicago. The meeting was organized into three sessions on the general topics: (i) Enzyme Structure, (ii) Metals and Radicals, and (iii) Drugs and Diseases. An evening poster session was also held, with over 70 posters presented, covering a wide range of enzymology. A brief synopsis of each of the major talks is given, including some relevant references to provide an entry into the current work in these areas. A complete listing of the titles and authors of the poster presentations is also included.
