Dear community, Dear community,
This is an announcement for a EMBO/MAX-INF2 practical course
“X-ray crystal structure determination of macromolecules”
to be held at the Soleil Synchrotron near Paris (France), from the 14th-21st of
September 2008.
This course is meant as an introduction to the determination of protein/DNA
X-ray structures, and covers the process from construct design till validation
& deposition of the structure in the PDB. Lectures will be combined with
practicals on crystallization, SAD/MAD structure determination, structure
refinement, model building and validation.
Tutors include:
Kevin Cowtan, Anastassis Perrakis, Jim Pflugrath, Randy Read, Jane Richardson,
Thomas Schneider, Bill Shepard, Enrico Stura, Piotr Sliz, Andy Thompson, Herman
van Tilbeurgh, Clemens Vonrhein and Peter Zwart.
