Lorne Conference 1996

There may be some subscribers on the RASMB network who are thinking of 
coming to Australia next February (summer).  The Lorne Conference on 
Protein Structure and Function will ba held 4-8 Feb.  The venue is a very 
attractive Beach resort about 90 miles from Melbourne.  For 
ultracentrifugists there is also the attractive XLA tour stretching from 
Brisbane (Don Winzor), Sydney (Greg Ralston), Canberra (Peter Jeffrey) and 
Melbourne leading up to the conference.

Preliminary details of the Lorne meeting  are attached below.  Please let 
me know if you would like further details.
