[Elspeth Garman]

Sixth International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological
Crystalline Samples
To be held at the Stanford Synchrtron Radiation Laboratory from
13:00 March 11th to 13:00 March 13th 2010.

Registration and Abstract submission is now open and can be found at:
http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/xrayradiation2010/

Registration is $75 ($100 after March 1st).
Abstract submission will close on the 1st March.

This series of workshops was originally concerned with the effects of
radiation damage during investigation of protein structures by X-ray
crystallography. Other techniques of structural biology are now being
included to ensure greater information exchange. The workshop will
therefore be of interest to all those using ionising radiation to
examine biological structures at the molecular and cellular level.
It will consist of around 30 talks of 20-25 minutes each covering:

   * • Reducing and Mitigating Radiation Damage.
   * • Radiation chemistry and radiolysis of biological molecules.
   * • Progress in the understanding of radiation damage in MX.
   * • Correcting for the effects of radiation damage.
   * • Reduction of metalloproteins and study of protein function.
   * • Radiation Damage in Electron Microscopy and Electron
     Crystallography.
   * • Pulsed Sources: Radiation Damage issues.
   * • Complementary (or non-crystallographic) methods to study
     radiation damage.

Some Abstracts will be selected for aural presentation - please indicate
if you would like to be considered for this in the comments box on the 
registration form.

The organizers are Ana Gonzales, Elspeth Garman, Colin Nave,
Sean McSweeney, Raimond Ravelli, Gerd Rosenbaum, Soichi Wakatsuki and 
Martin Weik.
