Molecular Basis of Life Processes Workshop

What are the challenges for chemistry in probing the molecular basis of life processes? That question was addressed at a day-and-a-half workshop held Sept. 18-19, 2004 at the American Chemical Society headquarters in Washington, D.C. The workshop was sponsored by ACS and the National Science Foundation; hosted by ACS Immediate Past President Charles P. Casey; and co-chaired by John T. Groves, Princeton University, and David A. Tirrell, California Institute of Technology.

A brief report appeared in C&EN.

The report from the workshop is now available. Community input is encouraged. Please address comments to molecularbasis@acs.org.
