Registration is currently open for the crystallography summer school in St
Andrews. Please note the preliminary program is now available on the website.
The University of St Andrews will be hosting a protein crystallography summer
school once again this year, which will take place 20-26 August.
The course aims to cover the theoretical and practical aspects of protein
crystallography from protein expression and purification, through crystal
growth to data collection on in-house and synchrotron sources, phasing methods,
automated model building and phase extension, refinement, and validation.
Hands-on sessions in data processing (XIA2, DIALS), molecular replacement,
MAD/SAD phasing, refinement and electron density map interpretation (in COOT)
will be included.
The School is intended for first/second year postgraduates or postdocs new to
crystallography. The week is very intensive, and gives a concentrated overview
of the methods which many find useful.
As in the past, priority is given to UK applicants because of the funding
arrangements, but is open to a limited number of overseas applicants.
