Dear All We are happy to announce the "ESS Science Symposium on Neutron Protein Crystallography" to be held at Aarhus University, Denmark 21-22 March 2013
For more info and registration go to http://www.bioxray.au.dk/essprotein Methods and results obtainable by neutron macromolecular crystallography will be presented at this symposium, which will also provide an opportunity to discuss potential uses of the strong neutron source provided by the European Spallation Source (ESS), which is planned to open in Lund, Sweden in 2019. Scientific sessions will cover the use of neutron diffraction in the study of enzymatic mechanisms (from both academic and industry points of view), protein-water interactions, as well as the use of neutron diffraction to study biological membranes and membrane proteins. Finally, the symposium will focus on the current state and developments in sample preparation as well as software for neutron crystallography. Participation in the symposium is free of charge and open to anyone interested in applying neutron diffraction in macromolecular crystallography. PhD students are highly encouraged to participate and contribute with projects that may benefit from the future use of neutron diffraction. Confirmed speakers: Paul Adams, LBNL, Berkeley, CA, USA Dean Myles, Oak Ridge National Lab, TN, USA Nobuo Niimura, Ibaraki University, Japan Ulf Ryde, Lund University, Sweden Monika Budayova-Spano, IBS, Grenoble, France Trevor Forsyth, ILL, Grenoble, France Julian Chen, University of Toledo, OH, USA Tomas Lundquist, Astra Zeneca, Mölndal, Sweden Looking forward to see you in Aarhus.
