Methods & techniques in integrated structural biology

Beyond black boxes

The course is intended primarily for post-doctoral researchers and Ph.D. students in structural biology with at least one year’s relevant experience in 3D-structure determination of macromolecules (X-ray diffraction, SAXS, cryo-electron microscopy). 

This workshop will be couple to the meeting "Current Challenges in Integrated Structural Biology" (October 3 - 4, 2016, IGBMC, Illkirch). We strongly encourage participants of the workshop to  attend the meeting.

The workshop will cover state-of-the-art methodology for data processing with emphasis on integration of different methods to solve structures of macromolecular complexes and ‘difficult’ targets. More precisely, the course will address three aspects:

X-ray diffraction and diffusion
Cryo-electron microscopy
Integration of X-ray crystallography, Cryo-Electron Microscopy and Small Angle X-ray scattering in structural biology.
This workshop forms part of the Instruct and of the FRISBI Training Course Programme 2016.
