Dear colleagues,
A FINAL announcement about the 4-day course “Structure and Function of
Membrane Proteins- a multidisciplinary approach”. The course is funded
by Instruct and BioStruct-X and will be held at ITQB, Oeiras (nearby
Lisbon), Portugal, from 5 to 8 November 2013.
The course will address several techniques for the structural and
functional characterization of membrane proteins, with special emphasis
on Macromolecular Crystallography, Mass Spectrometry, Electron
Microscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Ressonance. The information provided by
each technique, their applications in biological systems, major benefits
and limitations will be discussed. Confirmed speakers: Jens Preben
Morth, Julian Langer, Werner Kuhlbrandt, Marc Baldus and Pedro Fernandes.
The course is organized with lectures in the mornings and interactive
tutorials in the afternoons. In addition, the selected applicants are
grouped and each group works on a case study (based on 2-3 papers
covering techniques of interest and a questionnaire) and gives a
presentation at the end of the course.
The course is aimed primarily at PhD students, young Post-Doctoral
researchers and others with research activities involving structural
biology of membrane proteins. Participants will be limited to 20.
Candidate selection will be based on a short CV, a motivation letter
from the applicant, and a recommendation letter from the supervisor.
Registration deadline was extended to SEPTEMBER 27, please send your
application to [email protected]. Registration fee is now 250
Eur including accomodation. More information can be found at
