Re: [ccp4bb] Where is M.Harding's website for metal coordination geometry

[Louise Jones]

Dear All

The supporting information for Marjorie's article published in Acta 
Cryst. D in 2004 contains a pdf and a zip archive of the website.


The architecture of metal coordination groups in proteins, Acta Cryst. 
D60, 849-859, https://doi.org/10.1107/S0907444904004081

Hi

I am trying to find out if the website metal coordination groups in

google search, I still can’t find it except this ccp4 newsletter

trust that someone in this list might help me  find an alternative.


Thanks,

[ccp4bb] New opportunity for Commissioning Editors for IUCr Journals

[Louise Jones]

New opportunity for Commissioning Editors for IUCr Journals



The International Union of Crystallography publishes nine leading 
journals in crystallographic research, including crystallographic 
instrumentation and methods, and crystallography-based application 
sciences. As the Union enters its eighth decade, we are announcing an 
exciting opportunity for a category of editor new to IUCr journals: 
Commissioning Editors in the fields of Chemistry and Materials, Biology, 
and Methods and Instrumentation. The three Commissioning Editors will 
work with the Main Editors, Managing Editors and Editorial Boards of all 
IUCr journals, as well as with the Editor-in-Chief, to commission, send 
out for review, and edit high-quality articles from leading researchers 
that will highlight both the role of crystallography in cutting-edge 
research and new science where crystallography can advance the state of 
the art.




As well as handling commissioned articles, the role of the Commissioning 
Editors will include development of Special Issues involving one or more 
of the journals, and working with IUCr journal Main Editors to recruit 
new Co-editors to join the various IUCr journal Editorial Boards. In all 
aspects, please note that the IUCr is committed to improving gender and 
geographical balance while maintaining the highest scientific standards.




The nine IUCr journals, see https://journals.iucr.org, are (fully 
open-access journals are denoted by an asterisk, others are hybrid):




IUCrJ* (cross-cutting and high profile)

Acta Crystallographica A: Advances and Foundations

Acta Crystallographica B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and 
Materials


Acta Crystallographica C: Structural Chemistry

Acta Crystallographica D: Structural Biology

Acta Crystallographica E*: Crystallographic Communications

Acta Crystallographica F: Structural Biology Communications

Journal of Applied Crystallography
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
In addition, there is the IUCr’s open data publication: IUCrData*.



Candidates for Commissioning Editors should meet similar appointment 
criteria to those for IUCr journal Main Editors given at: 
https://journals.iucr.org/services/coeditors/handbook/meappointment_criteria.html 





As for all IUCr journal Editors and Co-editors, each Commissioning 
Editor will be a volunteer, although a small honorarium is available. 
Overall, we envisage the Commissioning Editor role to require a 
commitment comparable with that of an IUCr journal Main or Section Editor.




Please write in confidence by 31 March 2019 to the Editor-in-Chief 
(e...@iucr.org) and Executive Managing Editor (m...@iucr.org), enclosing 
your CV, a list of up to 20 of your most important publications, your 
vision for the role of the Commissioning Editor appointment you are 
applying for (Chemistry and Materials, Biology, or Methods and 
Instrumentation) in 500 words and a full list of publications.

[ccp4bb] Position: Project Manager for the International Year of Crystallography

[Louise Jones]

PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHY 

Organisation: International Union of Crystallography
Location: Chester, UK
Highly Competitive Salary: £40K minimum
Term: Fixed term (2 years)

Description:
The UN General Assembly has designated 2014 as the International Year of 
Crystallography. As part of IYCr2014, the International Union of 
Crystallography (IUCr), which is a scientific union and publisher of several 
leading scientific journals, is developing a wide-ranging agenda for publicly 
oriented events across the globe and is looking to appoint an ambitious 
person for IYCr2014 events management and delivery. 

You will be responsible for fund-raising and sponsorship activities for the 
IYCr, helping to publicise the economic and social contributions that 
crystallography makes by submitting articles to the press and to magazines, 
promoting poster and museum exhibitions highlighting the usefulness of 
crystallography, assisting with the development of the IYCr2014 web site, and 
interacting with the regional and national crystallographic organisations in 
formulating global sets of events.

You will act as the focal point for IYCr2014 and work with all potential 
partners to make the international year a global success reaching out to 
schools, colleges and the general public. You will help to assemble a team of 
enthusiasts to inspire and coordinate worldwide activities. You will be 
supported by, and will be expected to work with, the various IUCr committees 
that will oversee the IYCr2014 activities. In addition, we are in the process 
of appointing a Business Development Executive with primary responsibility 
for publications development for IYCr2014, and you will work closely with 
him/her. 

You will ideally be a graduate with a knowledge of crystallography and 
experience of writing scientific articles for the general public. We are 
looking for someone with excellent communication skills and prior experience 
of raising funds from industrial and private sponsors. Experience with media 
and journalistic media will be a major advantage. The ability to communicate 
in another major language in addition to English will also be beneficial. In 
return, the IUCr offers a competitive salary with excellent benefits and a 
unique working environment. You will be primarily based in Chester, UK, with 
some travel opportunities.

Carol Cook (c...@iucr.org) by 2 December 2012.

[ccp4bb] New service from IUCr Journals

[Louise Jones]

Dear All

You may be interested to hear of a new service we have just launched for IUCr
Journals that allows authors to create enhanced interactive illustrations of
structures to include in their articles.

The first illustration prepared in this way appears in the article of
Mueller-Dieckmann et al. [Acta Cryst. (2008), F64, 156-162] on the crystal
structure of mouse ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3.

The illustration is a view rendered within an interactive Jmol applet so
readers may change the orientation and size of the view and, by
right-clicking within the illustration, they have access to the full
repertoire of menu options provided by Jmol.

The toolkit used to create this illustration is now available and
forms an integral part of the IUCr submission and review systems.
It can be accessed from the Acta D or Acta F author services pages
(http://journals.iucr.org/).

More details have been published in an editorial [Acta Cryst. (2008), F64,
154-155] and any comments or feedback on the service are very welcome.

Best wishes
Louise
