2 Welcome It is a great pleasure to invite you to e XIII international conference of Liuanian Biochemical society, which will be held from June 18 to 20, 2014 in Birðtonas, Liuania. Liuanian Biochemical Society (LBS) - is an independent, non-profit organization. The mission of LBS is to consolidate life scientists for solving common professional and society-related problems, to promote and support development of biochemistry, molecular biology and related life sciences in Liuania. Founded on October 26, 1960 as a branch of Soviet Federal Biochemical Society, in 1989 LBS became independent and in 1991 our society joined e Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS). LBS has about 200 members mostly from Vilnius University, Liuanian University of Heal Sciences,Vytautas Magnus University, Nature Research Centre, and Centre of Innovative Medicine. Every second year LBS is organizing conferences. This year, because of e 50 anniversary of FEBS, our conference is international. We invite Liuanian biochemists working abroad, our colleagues from oer European societies to get togeer and celebrate anniversary of European biochemistry. Topics of XIII international conference of LBS will cover all aspects of molecular life sciences. They comprise (but are not limited to): Emerging techniques and new meodsin biochemistry Molecular mechanisms in Cell biologyand Virology Biotechnology Biochemistry of Prokaryotes Cancer cell biology and Biomedicine Structural biology and Bioinformatics Molecular biology and Functional genomics Enzymology and Metabolism Membranes and bioenergetics

3 Keynote speakers Opening lecture: Virginijus Ðikðnys (Vilnius) CRISPR-Cas craze: from antiviral defence system to novel genome editing tools Plenary lectures: Saulius Klimaðauskas (Vilnius) Catalytic plasticity of DNA meyltransferases Skirmantas Kriauèionis (Oxford) Towards e role of 5-hydroxymeylcytosine in neuronal DNA Aurelija Þvirblienë (Vilnius) Immunogenic properties of recombinant virus-like particles Vilmantë Borutaitë (Kaunas) Paophysiological aspects of antibodyinduced neuronal dea Daumantas Matulis (Vilnius) Bioermodynamics for Target Oriented Anticancer Drug Discovery Renate Ranka (Riga) Exploring he role of B. burgdorferi outer-surface proteins involved in host-paogen interaction Peep Palumaa (Tallinn) Structure and functioning of copper chaperones And many more lectures you will find in e conference website in a few days. We hope at is conference will provide a forum for e international exchange of knowledge among scientists and give an impulse to initiate or strengen collaborations between participants.
