Re: [ccp4bb] The Lawnmower Man
For the Apple fans out there, there's some rumors that they may be developing 3D display hardware without the need for glasses: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/03/20/apple_researching_autostereoscopic_3_d_display_hardware.html As for the gaming glasses from the original question, there's nothing I've heard of yet.

[ccp4bb] postdoc position: structural biology of ion channels
A position is available for a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Structural Neurobiology at the KULeuven, Belgium. The research in our laboratory is currently focused on the structural determination of several classes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic homologs of ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels. We have ongoing collaborations with several ion channel physiology groups on campus, including the lab of Dr. Bernd Nilius and Dr. Thomas Voets, who have published leading papers in the field of heat/cold- and ligand- activated TRP channels. We share part of our equipment with Dr. Sergei Strelkov's Biocrystallography group, which is fully equipped with an X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku/Mar), crystallization facilities and computer cluster. More information about research at the University of Leuven can be found at http://www.kuleuven.be. The successful candidate must be strongly motivated and should possess excellent written and oral communication skills. Experience in cDNA cloning, cell culture and protein purification techniques are required. Prior experience with membrane proteins would be a major advantage. To apply for this position please send curriculum vitae, a brief statement describing technical expertise, future research interests and the names of at least two references to: chris.ulens at med.kuleuven.be Initial funding is available until September 2010. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. ++ Chris Ulens, Ph.D. Lab of Structural Neurobiology Division of Pharmacology Campus Gasthuisberg, ON1 Herestraat 49, PB 601 B-3000 Leuven Belgium E-mail chris.ulens at med.kuleuven.be Tel +32 16 345812 Fax +32 16 345699 Telepathy 2.69 GHz ++ Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm
[ccp4bb] Synchrotrons and Lasers for Structural Systems Biology
This is just a gentle reminder than the deadline for the registration to attend the Symposium on Synchrotrons and Lasers for Structural Systems Biology is on April 5th, 2008. We would like to announce the Symposium on Synchrotrons and Lasers for Structural Systems Biology to be held on 16th April 2008 at the premises of the EMBL/DESY in Hamburg, Germany. International experts in the field of the use of synchrotron radiation in biological research will present their point of view on how the new synchrotron light sources including the X-ray free electron lasers under development will shape biological structural research in the next decades to come. The symposium will be followed by the 4th Annual Meeting of the EC-funded BIOXHIT project, 17th - 18th April 2008. Project’s highlights will be presented in the area of crystallisation technologies, synchrotron beamlines, beamline endstations and data collection, data processing and structure determination, databases and networking, training, implementation and dissemination. Attendance to the meetings is free of charge. The registration deadline for the symposium and the BIOXHIT Meeting is Saturday, 5th April 2008, http://www.structures-in-biology.org Gerard Bricogne, Kim Henrick, Victor Lamzin, Sine Larsen, Sean McSweeney, Colin Nave, Anastassis Perrakis, Manfred Weiss (the organising committee)
[ccp4bb] Postdoc position: structural biology of signal transduction
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE A postdoc position is available at Case Western Reserve University in the structural biology lab of Dr. Focco van den Akker. The project is funded by NIH and involves structure-function studies of cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways. These pathways are involved in processes such as regulation of blood pressure and bone growth; a number of proteins in this pathway are drug targets for treating hypertension and congestive heart failure. One of the classes of proteins we are targeting for structure-function studies are guanylyl cyclases (Ma et al., EMBO J, 26, p578-; Ma et al., JBC, 283, p1167-; Sayed et al., PNAS, 104, p12312-; van den Akker et al., Nature 406, p101-). See website for details: http://daspot.bioc.cwru.edu/Focco/project1.html Other proteins in this pathway are targeted as well in collaboration with a number of academic and pharmaceutical partners. The goal of this project is to delineate the molecular signaling events of these pathways using a multi-disciplinary approach with an emphasis on crystallography, and to exploit these insights for therapeutic modulation. Access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities are available including a newly-installed Rigaku Micromax-007 ccd diffraction system. Applications will be accepted from highly motivated individuals who have recently obtained their Ph.D. (less than 4 years). The applicant should have experience in either molecular biology or protein biochemistry (experience in protein crystallography is not required but is desirable). The position is open immediately and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Please send cover letter, CV, and list of 3 references to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Focco van den Akker, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Biochemistry/RT500 Case Western Reserve University 10900 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44106 Website: http://daspot.bioc.cwru.edu/Focco/ The Case Western Reserve University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
[ccp4bb] ccp4i - Directories Project Directory Error
Hello, When I click on 'Apply' in the Directories Project Directory window, I get the following error: ERROR saving parameters to file /Users/Kat/.CCP4/unix/directories.def Has anyone else encountered this error? I installed CCP4 on a MacBook Pro running Leopard using fink. This error always occurs, except in one mysterious instance today, but only to hang in refmac. I checked, but there is no .CCP4 folder in '/Users/Kat/'. When I tried to create one myself, OS X wouldn't allow me to do so according to some rule that folder names can't begin with periods. I am getting the impression that CCP4 is buggy on OS X. Any information on avoiding these problems and getting CCP4 to work?

Re: [ccp4bb] ccp4i - Directories Project Directory Error
If I move my .CCP4 directory out of the way and start ccp4i, it makes a new one: zsh-% ccp4i 22:14:16 Creating a home directory for CCP4 at /Users/wgscott/.CCP4 22:14:16 Creating CCP4i shadow area at /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP 22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/bin 22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/src 22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/etc Are you sure it isn't there? What do you get for ls ~/.CCP4 By the way the unix command for making a directory like this is mkdir ~/.CCP4 but the GUI appears to do that automatically. Maybe you are trying to make the thing with the Finder (Apple's file browser)? Best to avoid it for anything unixy. It is a carbon-based relic of pre-osx days.
