We would like to announce the Practical Course on Training in methods
for Macromolecular Crystallography M2M-2009: From Measurement to Model.
The course will take place at the EMBL Hamburg Outstation, the DESY
synchrotron site during the period:
Wednesday October 21st - Wednesday October 28th, 2009.
The M2M course series was established in 1993 and has been at the
forefront of training in structural biology, covering the essential
steps in determining biomolecular structures.
The M2M-2009 course will include practicals at synchrotron beamlines for
macromolecular crystallography, computational tutorials and lectures on
the use of synchrotron radiation and beamline equipment, sample handling
and carrying out an experiment. Topics will also include data
processing, structure solution, model building and validation.
Invited speakers include K. Bartels (Norderstedt), T. Beck (Goettingen),
A. Brunger (Stanford), Z. Dauter (Argonne), W. Kabsch (Heidelberg), W.
Minor (Charlottesville), G. Murshudov (York), A. Perrakis (Amsterdam),
H. Powell (Cambridge), T. Terwilliger (Los Alamos) and A. Vagin (York).
Internal speakers from the EMBL are G. Bourenkov, M. Cianchi, S.
Fiedler, M. Groves, V. Lamzin, G. Langer, S. Panjikar, U. Ristau, A.
Schmidt, T. Schneider, P. Tucker, D. Watts and M. Weiss.
The course is primarily supported by the European Macromolecular
Crystallography Infrastructure network (MAXINF2), EC Contract No 505977.
The number of places is restricted to 20. Applications can be made
electronically via the link
