This is just a gentle reminder - the deadline for the applications to
the M2M course is in 1 month.
=============================================================
We would like to announce the Practical Course on Training in methods
for Macromolecular Crystallography M2M-7: From Measurement to Model. The
course will take place at the EMBL Hamburg Outstation on the DESY
synchrotron site in Hamburg on:
Wednesday November 21st - Wednesday November 28th, 2007.
The course will include beamline practicals, computational tutorials
and/or lectures on beamline hardware, crystal handling, carrying out a
data collection experiment, data processing, model validation, phasing
and phase improvement, model building and refinement. There will also be
lectures on synchrotron radiation, detectors, data collection strategy,
radiation damage, density modification, use of maximum likelihood and
software for structure determination.
Invited speakers include K. Bartels (Norderstedt), Z. Dauter (APS), E.
Garman (Oxford), W. Kabsch (Heidelberg), A. Leslie (LBM, Cambridge), W.
Minor (Virginia), G. Murshudov (York), A. Perrakis (Amsterdam), J.
Richardson (Duke) and T. Terwilliger (Los Alamos). Internal speakers
from EMBL are G. Bourenkov, C. Hermes, V. Lamzin, S. Panjikar, A.
Schmidt, T. Schneider, P. Tucker and M. Weiss.
The course is primarily supported by the European Macromolecular
Crystallography Infrastructure network (MAXINF2), EC Contract No 505977.
The number of places is restricted to 20. Applications can be made
electronically via the link
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/workshops/2007/m2m7/. The deadline for
applications is September 28th, 2007.
