In this volume we have included some contributions among the plenary
lectures, oral presentations and posters that have been presented at the
1st Joint Greek-Italian Meeting on "The Chemistry of Biological systems
and Molecular Chemical Engineering" organized at Loutraki, Club
Poseidon, Greece 1990. We hope similar meetings will follow every two
years alternating between the two countries in order to strengthen the
scientific ties among the scientists working in this field. The inter-
disciplary aspect of the meeting has been evident by the wide presence
of scientists in bioinorganic, bio-organic, biological fields and
molecular engineers who will get together and exchange ideas and
experiences. We take this opportunity to thank the Greek Chemical
Society, the Italian Chemical Society, the "Gruppo Interdivisionale di
Chimica dei Sistemi e dei Processi Biologici", Consiglio Nazionale delle
Ricerche, Nuclear Research Center "Demokritos" and the Greek Ministry
for Research and Technology. ENRICO RIZZARELLI THEOPHILE THEOPHANIDES
