TRAVEL & VENUE INFORMATION

Getting to London and RSC
The conference will be held at the Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London - WC1J OBA. Arrival information will be sent to registered participants approximately three weeks before the meeting. Further details will also appear here in due course.

 

Poster abstracts are now being received.  If you wish to present a poster please send the title, co-authors (presenting co-author clearly indicated), affiliation and abstract (no more than 1 A4 page) to Professor Harding at  Steve.harding@nottingham.ac.uk.  Abstracts are accepted right up until 1st September (or earlier if the registration for the meeting becomes full.)  A prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry prize will be awarded to the best poster presentation.

Stability and Degradation of Complex Carbohydrate Structures: Mechanisms and Measurement

Discussion Meeting, RSC, Burlington House, London, WC1J OBA, 5th September 2011

A Satellite Meeting of the 2nd EPNOE International Polysaccharide Conference "Polysaccharides as Source of Advanced and Sustainable Products" (Wageningen, 29 Aug -  2nd Sept).

  • The RSC Biotechnology and Carbohydrate Groups would like to invite you to participate in this exciting one-day Discussion meeting.
  • Complex carbohydrates such as high molecular weight polysaccharides like starch and cellulose, are well known for their importance in foodstuffs, paper and wood, but their importance extends far beyond that into the biopharmaceutical, healthcare, oil and printing industries. 
  • In many cases their ability to be degraded is highly favourable – nutrition, paper/agro-waste, recyclisation and their use as potential biofuels etc.  In other instances retarding degradation is preferred – their use as biopharmaceuticals.
  • This discussion meeting will bring in experts from the polysaccharide and glycoconjugate communities to review the importance of the degradation of these substances – the biochemical mechanisms involved and methods for studying stability and degradation at the molecular level.

 

This Discussion meeting is limited to a maximum of 40 people. As of 18th July, 10 places remain.

This meeting has been generously sponsored by the Chemical Biology Interface Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Nestlé, York
