The meeting is aimed at giving the audience an insight into the "joy and pain" of protein crystallographic/structural biology research. Speakers have been asked to choose a particular piece of published work from any stage of their career and speak about the "real" story behind it - the people, the chance meeting, the experimental process, the 100's of failed trials that eventually led to "perfect" experiment. The aim here is to give the audience a deeper insight into the processes that lead to the wonderful science that structural biology reveals. The meeting will be opened by Professor Malcolm Longair, a former head of the department who has recently published a book describing the scientific history of the Cavendish Laboratory. He will present a seminar about the contributions of Perutz, Kendrew, Crick, Watson and Bragg at the Cavendish that help shape structural biology research. Additional speakers include: the 2017 Nobel Prize winner Richard Henderson, Judith Howard Sir Tom Blundell, Randy Read, Pamela Williams, Ben Bax and Janet Thornton. Key publications identified by the speakers will be assembled as a pdf-file that can be downloaded from the BSG website. A publication associated with the contents this meeting is planned to appear in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology in 2018. There will be opportunities to visit the small museum in the Cavendish Laboratory that houses many of the historically important pieces of apparatus which contributed to major discoveries by members of the Laboratory. Dr. David Ward will also be available to show the scanning helium microscope that can be used for non-destructive imaging of biological samples and describe the new features being developed to extend the resolution below 100 nm.
