Workshop on Small-Angle X-ray Scattering and Diffraction Studies in Structural Biology

     (Organizers: Hiro Tsuruta, tsuruta at slac.stanford.edu;

Thomas Weiss, weiss at slac.stanford.edu;

Marc Niebuhr, niebuhr at slac.stanford.edu)

 

SSRL's SMB Bio-SAXS/D team will hold an on-site workshop on Small-Angle X-ray Scattering and Diffraction Studies in Structural Biology on July 28-30, 2006.

 

This 3-day workshop will focus on the experimental aspects of non-crystalline diffraction techniques in biology which complement high resolution structural studies by crystallography, NMR and cryo-EM.  The workshop will provide hands-on training on experimental techniques and software tutorial sessions primarily for solution x-ray scattering studies.  Several shifts of beam time have been allocated for short periods of data collection by workshop participants.  The latest advances in x-ray scattering and diffraction studies on biological systems will be described by several experts in a diverse spectrum of structural biology benefiting from non-crystalline diffraction studies.  Also planned are presentations on complementary experimental approaches and modeling techniques.  Participants will receive updates on current and future developments at SSRL BL4-2, the dedicated small angle scattering/diffraction facility for structural biology, funded by NIH NCRR and DOE BER.

Due to limited availability of beam time, experimental data collection session may not be offered to all participants.  Those interested in data collection should apply by July 5, 2006 and accepted applicants will be notified by July 6, 2006.  Otherwise, please register by July 14, 2006.
