The 25th International Analytical Ultracentrifugation (AUC) Workshops and Symposium (AUC2022) took place at the University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge, Canada, in July 2022. In total, 104 attendees (Attendance Profile: 104 attendees, 69 in-person, 35 remote. Brazil 1, Canada 24, China 1, Czech Republic 2, Finland 1, France 3, Germany 22, India 3, Italy 1, Japan 4, Spain 1, Switzerland 3, Taiwan 1, United Kingdom 5, United States 32) participated in the event and presented the latest advances in the field. While the primary focus of the conference was to showcase the applications of AUC in chemical, life sciences, and nanoparticle disciplines, several presentations also integrated complementary methods, such as isothermal titration calorimetry, microscale thermophoresis, light scattering (static and dynamic), small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy. Additionally, the delegates gained valuable hands-on experience from 20 workshops covering a broad range of applications, experimental designs and systems, and the latest software innovations in solution biophysics. The AUC2022 special volume highlights the sustained innovation, utility and relevance of AUC and related solution biophysical methods across various disciplines, including biochemistry, structural biology, synthetic polymer chemistry, carbohydrate chemistry, protein and nucleic acid characterization, nano-science, and macromolecular interactions.
第 25 届国际分析超速离心（AUC）研讨会和研讨会（AUC2022）于 2022 年 7 月在加拿大莱斯布里奇大学举行。共有 104 名与会者（参会人员概况：104 名参会者，69 人现场参会，35 人远程参会。巴西 1 人，加拿大 24 人，中国 1 人，捷克共和国 2 人，芬兰 1 人，法国 3 人，德国 22 人，印度 3 人，意大利 1 人，日本 4 人，西班牙 1 人，瑞士 3 人，中国台湾 1 人，英国 5 人，美国 32 人）参加了此次活动，并展示了该领域的最新进展。虽然会议的主要重点是展示 AUC 在化学、生命科学和纳米粒子学科中的应用，但也有几个演讲整合了互补方法，如等温滴定量热法、微尺度热泳法、光散射（静态和动态）、小角 X 射线散射、X 射线晶体学和低温电子显微镜。此外，代表们还通过 20 个涵盖广泛应用、实验设计和系统以及溶液生物物理学最新软件创新的讲习班获得了宝贵的实践经验。AUC2022 特刊重点介绍了 AUC 和相关溶液生物物理方法在包括生物化学、结构生物学、合成聚合物化学、碳水化合物化学、蛋白质和核酸表征、纳米科学和大分子相互作用在内的各个学科中的持续创新、实用性和相关性。
