RapiData is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution. The aim of the RapiData course is to educate and train young scientists in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will be held at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) located on the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory campus in Menlo Park, CA, from May 5-10 2019. Course organizers for 2019 are Silvia Russi, Clyde Smith and Jeney Wierman. The course will comprise hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on the following topics: Specimen preparation, Data collection strategies, X-ray light sources, X-ray detectors, Data reduction, Structure solution by MAD, SAD and Molecular Replacement, Complementary methods (spectroscopy and small angle scattering) Please visit http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/news/rapidata/rapidata-2019/ and use the links on the "registration" page to apply for the course. The application deadline is December 31 2018 Successful applicants will be notified early in January 2019 and invited to register and book accommodation at the SLAC Guesthouse at that time. A limited amount of travel support funding may be available. <http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/news/rapidata/rapidata-2019/> RapiData 2019 at SLAC smb.slac.stanford.edu RapiData 2019 is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution.

Im Focus das Leben http://www.iobcr.org <Http://www.iobcr.org> Visiting Professorship in Biophysics, University of South Bohemia (CZ) President of the International Organization for Biological Crystallization (IOBCr) -- If you can look into the seeds of time and tell which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me who neither beg nor fear (Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act I, Scene 3) -- "Aujourd'hui je sais qu'il n'y a pas de limites à la bêtise humaine - qu'elle est infinie." (Gustave Flaubert, French novelist, 1821-1880) -- It is invariably the case that high resolution X-ray structures show significantly better agreement with solution observables such as coupling constants, 13C chemical shifts, and proton chemical shifts, than the corresponding NMR structures, including the very best ones. Hence, in most cases, a high-resolution crystal structure (< 2.0 Å)will provide a better description of the structure in solution than the corresponding NMR structure (Kuszewski, Gronenborn & Clore, 1996, Protein Science 5:1067-80) -- Disclaimer * This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
