Dear all
The Higher European Research Course for Users of
Large Experimental Systems (HERCULES) is organising
a Structural Genomics Specialised Course from
the 9 to the 13 October 2006 in Grenoble.
This course, funded by the European Marie Curie Action
programme and organised with the support of the EMBL,
the ESRF and the UK MRC, will give insights into current
techniques used to produce your crystalline sample
and how to maximise your results using the latest
technological developments available at the ESRF
macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines.
A mixture of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions
will cover bio-informatics, robotic protein production
and crystallisation, as well as structure solution
using synchrotron MX beamlines.
Students will have the opportunity to bring their purified
protein or pre-frozen crystals. Purified proteins will be
screened against crystallisation conditions using
a Cartesian nano-litre robot.
Student crystals produced on site or shipped using the
SPINE standard tools will be screened on the MAD
beamlines (BM14, ID14-4, ID29 or ID23-1) during
training sessions and analysed in dedicated data
analysis tutorials.
Full details of the programme as well as the application
procedure can be found at:
http://www.esrf.fr/NewsAndEvents/Conferences/HSC/HSC2/
Places are limited to 20 students.

David Hall and Edward Mitchell, ESRF
