Dear All,
A reminder that the earlybird deadline for the course on Protein engineering by the Biochemical Society is coming up on the 15th May. For more information the link is here: https://www.biochemistry.org/Events/tabid/379/MeetingNo/SA219/view/Conference/Default.aspx Protein engineering II: from new molecules to new processes 15—17 July 2019 University of York, UK The ability to engineer proteins to tackle new challenges has had a transformational effect across the biological and physical sciences, in both industrial and academic settings. The rate at which new methods are being developed shows no sign of slowing. This timely meeting will cover recent developments in the engineering of proteins. Themes include new methods such as computational design, high throughput screening, and genetic code expansion, targets such as new biotherapeutics, scaffolds and catalysts, and the applications to which these are being applied, including diagnostics and sensing, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology. As such this will be an interdisciplinary meeting that will demonstrate the state-of-the-art of the field, and will bring together a diverse set of researchers, making this an ideal forum for the exchange of new ideas. Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication.

The event will be held in London (UK) and is entitled: ‘Engineering recombinant proteins for structural and functional studies’ The programme will address the limiting step in structural studies - the production of pure and homogenous proteins. Talks and discussions at this event will explore strategies to optimize membrane and soluble proteins for crystallization, cryo-EM and NMR studies. Discussions will include construct optimization, novel thermostability assays, crystallization tools and ‘tricks of the trade’ to enable structure determination. This event is particlarly directed toward early-stage graduate students in structural biology. However, anyone interested in generating soluble proteins for a variety of applications, such as enzymatic assays and antibody production, would be welcome to attend. Manufacturers of instruments and techniques to assay purity and homogeneity will be available for ‘hands-on’ demonstrations. The list of invited speakers are experienced in the structure determination of membrane proteins, cytosolic/secreted proteins, and macromolecular signaling complexes: Edmund Kunji, Cambridge Daniel Panne, Leicester Maria Sasi Conte, King’s College Naomi Chayen, Imperal College Laura Itzhaki, Cambridge Chris Tate, Cambridge More details about the programme and venue will be provided in the coming weeks. Best wishes, Amir Khan, Trinity College Dublin Rivka Isaacson, King’s College ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jiscmail.ac.uk%2Fcgi-bin%2Fwebadmin%3FSUBED1%3DCCP4BB%26A%3D1&data=01%7C01%7CNicola.1.evans%40KCL.AC.UK%7C40bd8eea76784dae0f8008d6bc276384%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=BXkTh%2FsUd9yx8yjdeY5lG9UblegmFq5nwcdir6kyKWI%3D&reserved=0> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
