Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to an upcoming free, educational webinar to be presented by Angela Criswell, Ph. D. titled "Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) Techniques for Macromolecules". Small angle X-ray scattering is a technique used to study dilute solutions of macromolecules. SAXS measurements can give valuable information about the low resolution structural characteristics and in some cases a model of the protein shape. Specifically, SAXS is particularly useful for giving immediate feedback whether your protein is monodispersed or aggregated and whether your protein is folded or unfolded in solution. In addition, several examples in the literature demonstrate the use of SAXS to identify the correct multimeric states or proteins, thus eliminating the ambiguity associated with crystal-packing induced oligomers. This webinar will summarize various applications of SAXS for macromolecules and explore some practical considerations for collecting and processing SAXS da ta. This webinar is scheduled to occur on Thursday, June 23rd 10:00 AM CDT (8:00 AM PDT / 4:00 PM GMT).
