[ccp4bb] EMBO practical course on Computational Structural Biology - from data to structure to function, EMBL Hamburg, 15-19 April 2013
Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the upcoming EMBO practical course on Computational Structural Biology - from data to structure to function EMBL Hamburg, Germany 15th - 19th April 2013 The course covers computational aspects of protein structure determination, validation and analysis, including background in X-ray crystallography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy and Small-angle X-ray scattering and hands-on experience in model building from X-ray diffraction data, comparing and integrating different types of structural data, and the differences in interpretation. Students will also learn to critically examine and validate data from these techniques. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to provide them with insight into the protein structure determination process, how to critically assess the quality of data from models, and to provide expertise in the integration and visualisation of data from different techniques, thus allowing the analysis of protein structure data for functional relationships. For more information and to apply, please go to: http://events.embo.org/13-comp-structure/ Application deadline: 15th February 2013 We look forward to receiving your application! Kind regards, Margret On behalf of the organising committee, Gerard Kleywegt Victor Lamzin Christine Orengo Gert Vriend Rosemary Wilson
[ccp4bb] EMBO Practical Course on Computational structural biology - from data to structure to function
Hi all, From 14-18 November, an EMBO Practical Course on Computational structural biology - from data to structure to function will be held at the EBI in Cambridge (UK). The course is organised by James Watson, Rosemary Wilson, Gerard Kleywegt, Victor Lamzin, Christine Orengo and Gert Vriend. The course will address computational aspects of protein structure determination, validation and analysis. Students will learn to critically examine and validate data from the Protein Data Bank and use a variety of analysis tools to identify similarities that can help identify function. The course will also provide an introductory session to homology modelling for use with proteins less amenable to structure determination. Finally, the importance of protein structure to drug development will be illustrated with a day focussing on protein interactions, small molecules, chemoinformatics and docking. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to provide them with insight into the protein structure determination process, how to critically assess the quality of data from models and also provide expertise in the analysis of protein structure data with a view to predicting protein function. Registration for the course is now open. For more information, surf to: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/handson/course_110912_structures.html --Gerard --- Gerard J.
