Dear All, I would like to announce the following meeting: International Workshop on New Developments of Methods and Software for Protein Crystallography, August 24-27, 2012 Xi’An, China Organizers: Commission on Biological Macromolecules, IUCr; Chinese Crystallographic Society (CCrS) and Northwestern Polytechnical University
This workshop is intended to reflect and summarize some important advances of protein crystallography in methodology and automation procedures, such as new ideas and implementations for protein crystallography with emphases on low-resolution phasing and futuristic methods for crystal, nano-crystal or non-crystal structure determination; Automatic, user-friendly pipeline developments; Future data acquisition and storage for structural biology, particularly at modern synchrotron sources. The workshop will also include topics in new methods in protein crystallizations, nano-liter robots, automatic data collection at third generation synchrotrons, new light sources such as FEL (Free-Electron Laser), new detectors, new ways of data collection and processing. The workshop is also good for scientists in the early stage of their career, it will provide platforms for young scientists and students to learn the recent advances and to exchange new ideas and results. There will be poster and selected oral presentation sessions during the workshop, and abstract or full-paper book will be printed and published. Travel sponsorship for students and postdocs will be provided by IUCr and the workshop. Best regards! Xiao-Dong Su, Professor Chairman, Commission on Biological Macromolecules (CBM), International Union of Crystallography (IUCr); Secretary-general, Chinese Crystallographic Society(CCrS); College of Life Sciences, Peking University 100871 Beijing, China Phone: +86-10-62759743 FAX: +86-10-62765669 E-mail: x...@pku.edu.cn
