March 22-25th, 2006 Seefeld, Austria, in Hotel Veronika
Travel details on how to reach Seefeld are in attachment.
The lectures will be scheduled in the morning and in the late afternoon/evening so as to allow for down-hill, cross-country skiing during the central part of the day.
This is a workshop for about 20 students on the use Soft X-rays in crystallography of biological macromolecules.
Lectures will cover aspects of data collection strategies, analysis of data, derivatisation, phasing soft X-rays and hardware requirements.
Speakers and topics to be covered include:
Manfred Weiss: On the use of longer X-rays in macromolecular crystallography
Gwyndaf Evans: The long wavelength X-ray beamline for macromolecular
crystallography at the Diamond Light Source
Gordon Leonard: TBA
Uwe Mueller: Long wavelength X-ray diffraction experiments at BESSYs
PX-beamlines
Marjolein Thunnissen: The Mad-station at Cassiopeia, Max-Lab, Lund
Edoardo Busetto: Diffraction developments at ELETTRA
George Sheldrick: Experimental phasing with SHELXD/D/E
Paul Tucker: The influence of data-collection wavelenght on radiatic damage
Chen Yang: In-house S and SE phasing with Crk radiation
Ulrike Wagner: Xenon in Protein Crystallographyn
Michele Cianci: Experiences with softer X-Rays on BL10@SRS UK
Andy Thompson: Facilities for Macromolecular Crystallography at SOLEIL, a
medium energy synchrotron source
Bi Cheng Wang: TBA
Isao Tanaka: TBA
Bram Schierbeck: First Result of the Axiom, a New High-speed, Photon-counting
X-ray Area Detector
Jules Hendrix: The Selenium-Based Direct-Conversion Detector for Protein
Crystallography
Takashi Tomizaki: TBA
