Crystallization: focus on membrane proteins.
http://www.nsls.bnl.gov/newsroom/events/workshops/2007/crys/
The Crystallization Course at Brookhaven National Laboratory this year will
focus on membrane proteins.
Sponsored by the IUCr the purpose of the course is to provide participants with
hands-on
experience of a variety of crystal growth methods. The course will
address both conventional and non-conventional methods in membrane
proteins. Optimization methods will include application of oils, novel
nucleating agents, detergents, crystallization in lipid cubic phase,
crystallization with gels , microfluidics, and more...
Introductory lectures will precede the practical sessions. Time for
discussions and informal meeting speakers and tutors is scheduled.
