Applicants:
The workshop has been designed for postgraduate, postdoctoral and research scientists that deal with macromolecular crystallography but need further knowledge on the routine uses, the state of the art and fundamentals that underlie the modern techniques for macromolecular crystallography. The topics will cover crystallographic computing and fundamentals using XDS, CCP4 and Phenix, as well as the state of the art on topics such as the strategies for protein production, data collection,phasing and refinement with ARCCIMBOLDO, SHELX and SIR2014 and modelling with COOT.
This year we have introduced full-day on breakthrough techniques such as XFEL and cryo EM.
MCS2017 will provide six days of lectures and workshops. The course is designed for 25 highly motivated attendants.
Requests to participate must be sent by a free-formated E-mail, before March 10, 2017 to the following address: cursos@fgua.es, indicating the motivation to participate and experience on macromolecular crystallography and including a letter of recommendation from PhD Director (only for PhD students).
Accepted participants will be notified by e-mail before March 17, 2017.
Organizers:
Armando Albert (xalbert@iqfr.csic.es ), Juan A. Hermoso (xjuan@iqfr.csic.es) and Isabel Usón (iufcri@ibmb.csic.es)
