Dear Colleague and friends,
  We are pleased to announce the 8th International Doctoral School on Biological Crystallization (ISBC2023), to be held in Granada (Spain) during May 21th to 26th, 2023 (http://www.isbcgranada.org/). 
  The School will provide five days of lectures, posters and practical demonstrations focused on the fundamentals of crystallization. The aim of the School is to introduce all participants into the fundamental knowledge about the behaviour of crystallizing solutions and their applications to the field of biological crystallization, including large crystals for neutron diffraction, tiny crystals for XFEL, and cryoEM sample preparation/characterization. 
  Grants are available
Looking forward to seeing you in Granada.
Best regards,
ISBC 2023 Organizing Committee

Dear Colleague,
The Laboratory of Crystallographic Studies is pleased to announce the 5th 
International School on Biological Crystallization (ISBC2015), to be held in 
Granada (Spain) during May 24-29, 2015. ISBC2015 is intended for 
postgraduate/postdoctoral students and research scientists from industrial and 
academic backgrounds. 
The International School will provide five days of lectures, posters and 
practical demonstrations focused on the fundamentals of crystallization from 
solution and their applications to the field of crystallization of biological 
macromolecules, including large crystals for neutron diffraction and tiny 
crystals for XFEL. One session will be fully devoted to case studies on the 
crystallization of membrane proteins, large macromolecular complexes and one to 
biomineralizatoin.

Re: [ccp4bb] capillary counterdiffusion agarose plug

2015-01-05 Thread Jose A. Gavira 
Dear Georg,

There are different ways to set-up counterdiffusion experiment but the
set-up you mentioned is done in a single capillary. The easiest way is to
prepare the agarose and when it is still warm pipette the 100 microL on any
surface, I use a piece of parafilm. Them you have to adsorb it with the
help of a silicon-tube or syringe connected to one end of the capillary (see
Fig. 1b of Acta Cryst. (2010). F66, 264–268). Place the small column of
agarose at the center of the capillary and allow it gel. You can place the
capillaries in the fridge to speed it up. When the agarose has gel you may
add the protein and precipitant solution each one to one end of the
capillaries using Hamilton syringes or capillaries of small diameter.
Finally seal both ends with either bee-wax or vacuum grease.



Cheers



Gavi.

 Dear Colleagues,

 After reading a few papers about growing  suitable crystals for neutron
 diffraction. I will do capillary counterdiffusion with an agarose plug
 between mother liquor and protein solution like described in
 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23192028.

 However I looked quite some time now, to find how to put the 100 ul 1%
 low-melting agarose plug in the middle of the capillary, but was not
 successful.  Does one use a gel loading tip or is there a better way to do
 this?

 Thanks in advance for any tips and tricks,

 best regards, Georg.

[ccp4bb] 6th edition of the Master and PhD in Crystallography and Crystallization

2013-09-19 Thread Jose A. Gavira 
Dear ccp4BBs,
 
The 6th edition of the Master and PhD in Crystallography and Crystallization is 
now open. 


  The MCC offers an unique opportunity for the training of young researchers 
that is normally absent or under-represented at graduate level despite its 
importance in science and technology. 

This year, along with some improvements in the academic program, and new 
laboratories for practical work in module 2, the main novelty will be a 
strengthening of the funding for students. La Factoria will provide 4 full 
mobility grands (4000 € each) and 6 partial mobility grants (2000 € each). We 
are also negotiating additional grants from the International Union of 
Crystallography and the European Crystallographic Association. UIMP is offering 
registration grants covering about half the registration fee. The MECD grants 
for master studies are still open.
If you are considering participating in the 2013/14 edition, dont' miss the 
last pre-registration procedure. In any case, please help us spreading this 
information among your friends and colleagues.

4th Edition of the ISBC2013

Dear Colleague,
The Laboratory of Crystallographic Studies is pleased to announce the 4th 
International School on Biological Crystallization (ISBC2013), to be held in 
Granada (Spain) during May 26-31, 2013. ISBC2013 is intended for 
postgraduate/postdoctoral students and research scientists from industrial and 
academic backgrounds.
The International School will provide five days of lectures, posters and 
practical demonstrations focused on the fundamentals of crystallization from 
solution and their applications to the field of crystallization of biological 
materials, including biological macromolecules, biominerals and biomimetic 
materials. One day will be fully devoted to case studies on the crystallization 
of membrane proteins, viruses and large macromolecular complexes.

Re: [ccp4bb] Glass Capillaries

2012-11-13 Thread Jose A. Gavira 
Dear Michael,

I work with capillaries in a regular bases to grow crystal and use them for
RT data collection or cryogenic temperature data collection at home source
or at synchrotron sources. I like better borosilicate glass capillaries
from Triana (http://www.trianatech.com/), as Patrick has already mentioned,
for the cylindrical type but if I need capillaries with a reservoir them I
go for the standard power diffraction capillaries from
http://www.capillarytubes.co.uk/acatalog/Borosilicate_Glass_Capillary_Tubes.htmlwhich
are similar to those from Hampton (
http://www.capillarytubes.co.uk/acatalog/Borosilicate_Glass_Capillary_Tubes.html),
etc.



All of them will give you some background but any of them will affect
dramatically your data quality. You can do a search in ActaD or F and get
good inputs on that (=*367 articles match your search capillaries*).

On my hands borosilicate capillaries are easier to handle than Quartz
capillaries and probably cheaper.

 Dear All,

 I would be interested to learn of other crystallographers' experience in
 their use of glass capillaries for protein crystal growth and X-ray
 diffraction clarity.
 There are many types of glass available - quartz, soda glass,
 borosilicate, etc. Are there specific types which people prefer for best
 results overall?

 Best wishes,

 Michael Roberts
