You are kindly invited to a MAX-INF2 Funded
Winter school on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography
March 22-25th, 2006 Seefeld, Austria, in Hotel Veronika
(www.hotel-veronika.at <http://www.hotel-veronika.at/>)
The lectures will be scheduled in the morning and in the late
afternoon/evening so as to allow for down-hill, cross-country skiing
during the central part of the day.
This is a workshop for about 20 students on the use ‘Soft’ X-rays in
crystallography of biological macromolecules.
Lectures will cover aspects of data collection strategies, analysis of
data, derivatisation, phasing soft X-rays and hardware requirements.
Topics to be covered include:
- X-ray sources for soft X-rays: design of the beamline, in-house
sources (Cr anode)
- experimental set-up and design of diffraction experiment
- Treatment of soft X-ray data
- derivatization and S signal
- phasing with help of radiation damage
Lecturers:
Goedon Leonard (ESRF), Manfred Weiss (EMBL, Hamburg), Gwyndalf Evans
(Diamond), Uwe Mueller (BESSY), Marjolein Thunnissen/Derek Logan (MAX2),
Edoardo Busetto (Elettra, Trieste), George Sheldrick (Goettingen), Paul
Tucker (EMBL, Hamburg), Bruker/Martin Adam, SLS (speaker to be
confirmed), Rigaku-MSC / Cheng Yang, Ulrike Wagner (Graz), Michele
Cianci (Daresbury), Andy Thompson (Soleil), Bi-Cheng Wang (USA), Isao
Tanaka (Japan)
MAX-INF2 members and speakers from MAX-INF2 member institutions will
have to pay their expenses from their MAX-INF2 grant. Thanks to generous
support from MAX-INF2 we are able to provide some accommodation (2 in a
room).
Applications should be made by Email to the secretary of the course
Ursula Thalhammer
e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*Before 15^th February 2006.*
There is no formal application form but applicants should attach one PDF
file containing no more than one page containing name, address,
telephone and fax numbers, email address, nationality, M or F, brief
details of your academic qualifications and of your research project and
stating how you will benefit from the course.
Applicants who would wish to present a scientific contribution (oral or
poster) should also provide the title and abstract.
