Introduction
The
Nineth
Symposium on the Alpha-Amylase Family - ALAMY_9
-
will be held at the Congress
Centre of the Slovak
Academy
of Sciences,
The Symposium will traditionally be held in the Smolenice Castle situated on a hill above the small city of Smolenice, which lies at the foot of Small Carpathian Mountains 60 km North-east from Bratislava. The participants will also be accommodated in the Castle. Beautiful natural surrounding and attractive interiors of the Castle create a special atmosphere for scientific discussions, relaxation and meeting friends. The scientific programme of the ALAMY_9 is currently in progress. It, however, will traditionally be aimed at the main alpha-amylase enzyme families and clans GH-H (i.e. families GH13, GH70 and GH77) and GH-T (i.e. families GH57 and GH119) as well as at the family GH126. Various aspects of starch and glycogen (in general an alpha-glucan) binding - mainly as distinct CBMs - are also involved, including also gut microbiome oriented studies as well as those focused on health and industrial topics and applications. The Lifetime Achievement Awards - including the Banquet Lecture - will also be presented during the Award Ceremony on Wednesday 17 SEP, accompanied by Awards for the Best Poster and Best PhD-student. All “amylase-positive” people are equally welcome! The number of participants is limited to ~80 due to the capacity of the Castle. Therefore the rule "first come - first served" will be used as the main base. We are extremelly looking forward to welcoming you in Smolenice again!  Yours, Stefan Janecek, main organizer |
