Winter Meeting 2005 - Controversies in Biological Catalysis - Different or Just Better?

The traditional winter meeting was this year held at the Chemistry Department, Sheffield University. An exciting line up of speakers, Prof. S. M. Roberts, Prof. C. A. Hunter, Prof. A. J. Kirby, Prof. R. Alleman, Prof. D. H. Williams, Prof. N. S. Scrutton, finishing with Prof. M. Page, gave the audience stimilating debate and lots of food for thought. The meeting certainly lived up to its promotion as the best contemporary understanding of biocatalysis presented by a first class group of speakers. The meeting was finished off with a wine mixer, but it can be certain that the debates were still raging late into the evening.
