[Maxim Petoukhov]

Practical Workshop on Characterization of Protein Complexes in  
Structural Biology
EMBL Hamburg, 30th June - 3rd July 2009.

The workshop is aimed at advanced graduate students and postdoctoral  
fellows interested in expanding their knowledge of state-of-the-art  
biophysical and biochemical characterization methods of protein  
complexes. The workshop will include hands-on sessions and lectures by  
world-leading experts from relevant fields. Topics covered will  
include FRET, BIFC, SAXS, ITC, high-throughput crystallization and  
mass spectrometry.

The course is supported by the EU funded projects SPINE2-complexes  
(http://www.spine2.eu/SPINE2/), 3D Repertoire  
(http://www.3drepertoire.org/) and PENELOPE (http://penelope.crg.es/).  
The course is open to everyone, however several places have been  
reserved for members of the supporting grants. There is no
