The Gordon Conference on Cellulosomes, Cellulases, and other Carbohydrate Modifying Enzymes will take place August 4-9, 2013, in Proctor Academy, Andover NH, USA.

This Gordon Conference, chaired by Harry Brumer and co-chaired by Kiyohiko Igarashi, will present cutting-edge research on the enzymatic degradation of cellulose and other plant cell wall components. The Conference will feature a range of current topics that includes the biosynthesis and ultrastructure of polysaccharide substrates, the enzymology of plant structural degradation, regulation of the degradative apparatus, (meta)genomic approaches to discover new enzymes from both plants and cell wall-degrading organisms, structural and functional carbohydrate enzymology, as well as advances in applications in the biorefinery context.
