The Sixth International Workshop on X-ray Radiation Damage to Biological
Crystalline Samples will be held at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation
Laboratory from
13:00 March 11th to 13:00 March 13th 2010.
This series of workshops was originally concerned with the effects of
radiation damage during investigation of protein structures by X-ray
crystallography. Other techniques of structural biology are now being
included to ensure greater information exchange. The workshop will
therefore be of interest to all those using ionising radiation to
examine biological structures at the molecular and cellular level.
Topics under discussion will include:
1: Reducing and Mitigating Radiation Damage
2: Radiation chemistry and radiolysis of biological molecules
3: Progress in the understanding of radiation damage in MX
4: Correcting for the effects of radiation damage
5: Reduction of metalloproteis and study of protein function
6: Radiation Damage in Electron Microscopy and Electron Crystallography
7: Pulsed Sources: Radiation damage issues.
8: Complementary (or non-crystallographic) methods to study radiation
damage
The organizers are Ana Gonzales, Elspeth Garman, Colin Nave,
Sean McSweeney, Raimond Ravelli, Gerd Rosenbaum, Soichi Wakatsuki, and
Martin Weik.
Anyone who would like to participate should e-mail Elspeth Garman
([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) who will
forward further information to
interested parties once it is available.
