Purpose of the course and intended audience

The aim of this school will be to cover all aspects of the structure solution process in macromolecular crystallography, starting from data processing, through phasing and refinement, and ending with validation and deposition.

The course is intended mainly for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from China in the area of structural biology. The school is not meant as an introductory level course to protein crystallography. It is designed more for applicants with some expertise in crystallography and wanting to gain more experience with the CCP4 suite. The purpose of the school is to address specific problems that the applicants face while processing diffraction data and while solving and refining novel structures.

Several of the leading PX software developers from around the world will present lectures and tutorials on their software and will also be available to help with problems during hands-on sessions of the school.

The school will cover many popular programs used for data processing and structure solution with the software developers available to help throughout the week. Programs covered will include: Mosflm, Scala, Refmac, Coot, Balbes, Mrbump, Buccaneer and many more.

Registration and Fees

Registration is being handled by the local organisers, please see the Application page.
