Model building and refinement

A meeting organised by the Collaborative Computational Project in Macromolecular Crystallography (CCP4) and Daresbury Laboratory4th-5th January 2004, The University of Leeds
The meeting will focus on model building in the determination of protein structures. We hope to bring out developments in both automatic and manual model building, and in how model information can be recycled and used in phase improvement strategies. We also hope to underline current developments in structure refinement and in how the molecular graphics programs that are sometimes used in model building can also be of benefit in structure analysis and illustration.
