Dear CCP4bb community, We are pleased to announce the CCP4 Crystallographic School in South Africa, to be held from 31 March — 08 April 2020 at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
The workshop will cover all aspects of protein structure solution by X-ray crystallography, including the fundamental concepts of protein crystallography, crystallographic data collection, processing of diffraction data, phasing, structure refinement, validation and deposition in the PDB, as well as an introduction to CryoEM and Electron Diffraction. Participants will have the opportunity to collect data from their own crystals at Diamond Light Source via remote access, in a data collection session facilitated by Diamond beamline staff. Software covered includes iMosflm, XDS, DIALS, BLEND, PHASER, SHELX, MrBUMP, SIMBAD, ARP/wARP, Coot, REFMAC, Isolde, Crank2, PISA and more. This workshop is most suitable for postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early career scientists working in structural biology. Researchers from all countries will be considered but suitably qualified applicants from African universities will be given preference. Online applications are open until 25 January 2020. A total of 25 participants will be selected. The selection results will be announced no later than 14 February, 2020. For the school program and a list of confirmed speakers, please visit our workshop webpage at https://biophysicsworkshop.co.za/ For any more information, please contact Carmien Tolmie ( [email protected] or [email protected]) or Trevor Sewell ( [email protected]). We’re looking forward to seeing you in Cape Town next year! Best wishes, Carmien, Ruslan, Ronan, Gwyndaf and Trevor ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
