We would like to announce a joint EMBL-CCP4 training course "European
School for Macromolecular Crystallography (ESMAX)", which will build
upon the traditions of the forefront of training in structural biology –
the M2M workshops and the CCP4 crystallography schools. The first
ESMAX-2012 course will take place at the EMBL Hamburg Outstation, the
DESY synchrotron site during the period:
Monday November 19th to Monday November 26th, 2012.
The ESMAX-2012 course will include a range of activities addressing
essential steps in determining biomolecular structures. In particular,
the courses will have practicals on the use of synchrotron radiation and
beamline equipment, sample handling and carrying out an experiment,
followed by an intense course on data processing, structure solution,
model building and validation using top-ranked software packages.
Speakers and tutors include G. Bourenkov (Hamburg), C. Carolan
(Hamburg), M. Cianci (Hamburg), Z. Dauter (Argonne), K. Diederichs
(Konstanz), W. Kabsch (Heidelberg), J. Kallio (Hamburg), R. Keegan
