*Second Announcement EMBO / MAX INF2 2009 a Practical Course on* *Structure Determination in Macromolecular Structure* ESRF-EMBL, Grenoble, France, 15 - 19 June 2009
The EMBO / MAX INF2 2009 course on Structure Determination in Macromolecular Structure will be hosted by the ESRF in Grenoble, France from 15 to 19, June 2009. This practical course addresses young scientists who intend to apply single- and multiple-wavelength anomalous scattering (SAD & MAD) methods in macromolecular structure determination. The course aims to impart the theoretical and practical basis for the 3-dimensional structure determination of bio-macromolecules using these techniques. Through a series of lectures, software demonstrations, practicals and tutorials, participants will get insights into all aspects of the structure determination process including beamline instrumentation, data collection and processing, heavy atom substructure determination, phasing and model building. There will also be sessions focusing on automated structure solution procedures and newer methods which exploit small anomalous scattering signals from crystals of native macomolecules. The number of participants is limited to 20 and the deadline for application is May 1^st , 2009. More detailed information, the course programme and instructions as to how to apply to attend the course can be found in the webpages at the URL: http://cwp.embo.org/pc09-05/.
