The sessions are arranged under three broad headings – Chemical Crystallography, Structural Biology, and Specialized Techniques. In total there are eighteen microsymposia, organized in three parallel sessions. Additionally there are two Crystallogrpahic Software sessions – dealing with the structure solution/analysis of small and macromolecules. Finally there will be a General Interest Session covering different aspects of pharmaceuticals.
Registration and abstract submission are now open. Please visit the conference webpage:http://www.asca2015.org/ for information on registration, abstract submission and accommodation.
