ANNOUNCEMENT Practical Course in Macromolecular Crystallographic Data Collection and Processing 18th - 23rd November 1996 MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK This course will cover the measurement of monochromatic X-ray diffraction data from crystals of macromolecules. Lectures will cover all aspects of data collection and processing. Students will collect and process data from a number of area detectors (electronic and image plates). Topics to be covered:- - X-ray sources, optics, collimation - crystal freezing - Detectors: image plates, CCDs - Data collection strategies - Crystal orientation determination - Integration, profile fitting - Data reduction Instructors: P.R. Evans, A.G.W. Leslie (course organizers), U.W. Arndt, A.R. Faruqi, J.F.W. Mallett (Cambridge), Z. Dauter (York/Hamburg), E. Garman (Oxford), W. Kabsch (Heidelberg), Z.Otwinowski (Dallas), A.Howard (IMCA Chicago), P. Tucker (Heidelberg). 20 participants will be selected, with preference to post-docs or students currently (or about to be) involved in data collection, and to those from Europe. There will be a course fee of GBP 100. Bed & breakfast will be provided. Some very limited funds are available to assist cases of hardship or long-distance travel (within Europe). Applicants should send (by letter or Email) a CV, a statement of how they will benefit from the course, and a recommendation, by 18th October 1996, to Dr. P.R. Evans or Dr. A.G.W. Leslie, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH, UK, from whom further details may be obtained (tel: +44 1223 248011, E-mail pre@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk). The meeting will be funded by CCP4 and Reciprocal Space Ventures Association. PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS NOTICE AROUND YOUR LABORATORY
