General Information

Invitation

Following the tradition of the previous International Conferences on Protein Stability we would like to welcome you to Exeter, UK for 'ProStab 2007'.

The city of Exeter (pop. c100,000) is the regional capital of the South West of England and is consistently rated one of the best places to live in the UK. It is surrounded by the beaches, National Parks and attractive countryside which make Devon and Cornwall one of Europe's top holiday destinations. The city itself was settled two hundred years before the arrival of the Romans and this long heritage can be seen in many parts of Exeter, including its medieval cathedral and the historic quayside which was once the scene for a thriving international port exporting woollen cloth.

The meeting will be held on the University of Exeter Campus. Its natural setting in parkland, woodland, lakes and gardens gives it the justifiable reputation as 'probably the most attractive campus in Britain'. It has first-class accommodation and conference facilities.

You will be assured of a 'warm' welcome to Exeter University and its surrounding region. The city of Bath with its famous Roman baths and hot waters are only a short distance away. You may also be interested in visiting Cornwall which is the furthest SW of the UK and is surrounded by spectacular coastline and famous for its gardens including the Eden Project. Exeter is easily reached by train (2hours 30 minutes from central London), the M5 motorway and regional airports at Exeter and Bristol.

Chair of Organising Committee.

History

The Section on Applied Biocatalysis (ESAB) and its predecessor the Working Party on Applied Biocatalysis (WPAB) co-organized several conferences focused on the stability and stabilization of biocatalysts/proteins but with different titles.

• Stability and Stabilization of Enzymes, Maastrict, 1992
• Stability and Stabilization of Biocatalysts, Cordoba, 1998
• International Conference on Protein Stabilization:
  • Leeds, UK, 1998
  • Lisbon, Portugal, 2000
  • Toulouse, France, 2002
  • Bratislava, Slovakia, 2004
  • Exeter, UK, 2007
