The primary objective of this U.S.-Hungary cooperative research                 project between Dr. Guy A. Thompson of the University of Texas,                 Austin, and Dr. Laszlo Vigh of the Biological Research Center in                Szeged, Hungary, is to study the biochemical regulation of membrane             fluidity.  By using homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts to change               membrane lipid composition, the researchers hope to determine and               analyze the effect desaturation has on membrane permeability and                capacity for signal transduction.  Results should contribute to our             basic understanding of both plant and animal cell physiology,                   particularly the mechanism for chilling resistance and high                     temperature stress response.                                                                                                                                    This project in biochemistry fulfills the program objective of                  advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United                States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and                  share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and                 competence.
