The 12th Triennial Congress of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists was held in Vancouver, Canada, 3-8 July 2022. It's an important international gathering of computational and theoretical chemists. - The program features 12 plenary lectures, including the most recent Dirac and Schrödinger Medalists, more than 200 invited lectures, 180 oral contributions and a large number of poster presentations. The program will cover a broad range of topics in method development and applications to chemistry, biochemistry, materials and nanoscience.


Dr Meilan Huang of Queen's University Belfast was invited to give an academic lecture on computer-directed biocatalyst design. Dr Meilan Hunag mentioned that enzymes are increasingly being used in an industrial setting as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to chemical catalysts. In order to produce the ideal biocatalyst, natural enzymes often require optimization to increase their catalytic efficiencies and specificities under a particular range of reaction conditions. Dr Meilan Hunag presented several cases where the application of powerful computational methods to functional protein design has achieved inspiring success.

ozil goal ai caught my eye because I'd been curious what actually gets discussed at a conference like WATOC, and the detail about 12 plenary lectures plus more than 200 invited talks helped me picture the scale of it. It's interesting that Dr Huang's talk leaned toward computer-directed biocatalyst design rather than straight method development, since the industrial

AI Font Generator highlighted a great detail with Dr. Huang's lecture on computer-directed biocatalyst design at the Vancouver congress. It's impressive that the program had 12 plenary lectures alongside over 200 invited talks, and her work on industrial enzyme use sounds fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.

It's great to see Dr. Meilan Huang's work on computer-directed biocatalyst design highlighted at the 12th WATOC Conference in Vancouver. Her lecture on using computational methods to optimize enzymes for industrial use sounds like a perfect fit for the event's focus on theoretical and computational chemistry. For anyone interested in the tools behind this kind of protein design, a grid maker might be a useful resource to explore.
