The workshop on membrane protein 2D crystallization and electron crystallography is aimed at PhD students, PostDocs, and beyond, who are interested in the structure determination of membrane proteins (or other 2D protein crystal arrays) by electron crystallography. Topics

This workshop has two major aims:

1. Training: To provide a unique forum to train skilled biochemists and electron microscopists (PhD, Post docs and beyond), in membrane protein 2D crystallization, electron crystallographic data collection and data processing.

• Membrane protein solubilisation and crystallization
• Sample preparation for electron microscopy
• Cryo-EM data collection (imaging and electron diffraction)
• Data processing with the MRC, IPLT and 2dx software packages
• Data evaluation and model building

1. Advancing the technology: To bring together many of the leading groups in electron crystallography to forge innovative collaborations for new technology development.

The workshop will feature lectures in the morning, practicals in the afternoon, student poster session before dinner, and science talks in the evening. Computer practicals will use machines in a local computer room. However, students are also invited to bring their own laptop computer (Linux or OSX), where we can try to install the image processing software packages and run the processing on your own computers during the workshop. Dates

Workshop Lectures: September 8-12, 2008 (Monday-Friday) Arrival: Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008. Departure: Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008

The workshop will be divided into four blocks: Lectures (morning), hands-on practicals (afternoon), poster sessions (before dinner), and research talks (evening). See also here
