[SA_scat] Workshop on SAXS in Structural Biology at SSRL

[Thomas Weiss]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring the following workshop announcement to your
attention. Please distribute this information to anyone who would
possibly be interested in this.

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

April 9-12, 2009

Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Menlo Park, California

The SSRL Structural Molecular Biology Group hosts this comprehensive
workshop on the use of primarily non-crystalline small-angle x-ray
diffraction techniques in structural biology research. The main focus of
the workshop is solution x-ray scattering studies on biological
macromolecules. The first half of the workshop will have lectures on
theoretical and experimental aspects of solution scattering as well as
recent applications in biology. Computational approaches to data
interpretation and structural modeling will also be covered. The
workshop will also include related topics such as lipid and fiber
diffraction studies. The second half of the workshop is devoted to
experimental tutorials on solution x-ray scattering at Beam Line 4-2 and
software demonstration/tutorial sessions. Participants are encouraged to
bring their own samples for the experimental tutorials.

Best regards,
   Thomas Weiss
