There are still places available at the TeachSG Workshop:
Biological macromolecules and their ligands
Techniques in X-ray structure analysis and Docking
This workshop will be held from 10th -11th Jun 2007 in Prague.
The workshop is designed to give protein crystallographers good
background on proper geometry definitions for ligands in protein-ligand
complexes, to help crystallographers use properly the up-to-date tools
for ligand
searching in electron density maps, automated or semi-automated ligand
building and refinement
and give them a chance to try out and be able to apply the current
computational techniques of docking, when experimental data on complexes
are missing.
The lectures and tutorials should focus on smaller ligands
but a lot of this knowledge will be applicable in the cases of
macromolecular ligands as well.
The workshop is also meant for computational biologists to provide them
with basic knowledge
and some skills in experimental determination of complexes between
molecules of biological relevance.
Workshop program is available from the SPINE2 web site:
http://www.spine2.eu/documents/program_TeachSG.doc.
The workshop is organised within the TeachSG project
and there is no fee connected with participation. It is mainly designed
for students and young post-docs but still each application will be
considered individually.
If you have someone who would benefit from attending, please could you
ask them to send a short CV, a short expression of interest explaining
the reason for participation, and a letter of support from their group
or laboratory head. The applications should be send by e-mail to Sarit
Goren [EMAIL PROTECTED])or to Jan Dohnalek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as
soon as possible.
The participants have to fund their travel and accommodation expenses.
12 Successful applicants will receive an invitation letter in several
days after the deadline.
There is information on venue, travel and recommended accommodation and
the program available on the SPINE2
web page (meetings)
