    The Fourth Advanced Study institute of Molecular Biology July 6-19 1969 Nucleic Acid and Protein Interactions The Fourth Advanced Study Institute of Molecular Biology, sponsored by NATO, will be held on the Island of Spetsai, Greece. This school, suitable for predoctoral students and for postdoctoral workers in related fields, will consist of lectures and discussions in English covering the following topics: ( 1 ) The chemistry and physical properties of nucleic acids (2) The recognition of tRNA and mRNA (3) The structure and function of proteins (4) Structure of viruses (5) Structure of ribosomes (6) Recognition of tRNA by ribosomes (7) Recognition of tRNA by activating enzymes (8) Enzymes of nucleic acid metabolism (9) Biochemistry of control mechanisms (10) Non-enzymatic synthesis of nucleic acids The lecturers will include P. Berg (U.S.A.), M.S. Bretscher (U.K.), B.F.C. Clark (U.K.), F.H.C. Crick (U.K.), A.E. Evangelopoulos (Greece), M. Grunberg- Manago (France), U. Henning (Germany), A. Klug (U.K.), A.M.

Participants will have to assume responsibility for their own travel and living expenses. A certain number of grants to help cover these expenses will be awarded by the Organising Committee, preferentially to students with no other means of support. The Institute will have reserved accommodation in hotels and in the Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetsai. Requests for application forms and information should be addressed to: NATO Advanced Study Institute Secretary, M.R.C. Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge, England. After an application is accepted the student will be notified and a registra tion fee of $20 will then be required from the student in order to secure his participation in the course. As the number of participants will be limited, appli cations should be sent in as soon as possible. No application will be considered if submitted after Apri I 15th, 1969.
