The 55th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference was held at the U. of Georgia, Nov. 1997. Three symposia addressed different areas of diffraction, Metalloproteins chaired by M.K. Johnson and D.M. Kurtz; Structured Water, organized and chaired by L. Williams; and Symposium C, organized by G. DeTitta in honor of Bryan Craven and his "first" retirement.

The Chung Soo Yoo Award was presented to Chun-Jung Chen for his outstanding poster entitled "A Step towards the Transcription Ternary-Bubble Complex Structure: Low-salt Crystals of T7RNA Polymerase".
