To: CCP4 Bulletin Board Dear All I am attaching a message concerning a workshop on "Standards for the publication of macromolecular NMR structures" to be held at this year's ACA meeting. I think that this will be of interest to many of you, especially if you are planning to attend the ACA meeting anyways. Best wishes Manfred. NMR workshop ============ From: Howard Einspahr <[log in to unmask]> The IUCr is sponsoring a workshop on updating publication standards for NMR structures on July 21 in Salt Lake City UT, the day before the 2007 American Crystallographic Association (ACA) meeting. The workshop is organized by Mitchell Guss, Manfred Weiss and Howard Einspahr with the help of Guy Montelione, John Markley, Eldon Ulrich, Luciano Mueller and others from the NMR community. Acta Cryst. F published an NMR structure paper in 2006 and was advised by referees at the time that the 1998 IUPAC standards, which were used as a basis for review, were in need of an update. The workshop dovetails nicely with NMR community efforts on standards and a Task Force under the aegis of BMRB and RCSB launching their work in the coming months. Several members of the Task Force including its chair, Rob Kaptein, will make presentations at the workshop and the workshop will serve as a preliminary to the Task Force's work. Also presenting on aspects of publication standards will be Manfred Weiss and Howard Einspahr. If you are planning to attend the ACA meeting this summer, please consider to participate in the workshop. After a morning of presentations and lunch, the workshop will hold a series of breakout sessions to draft the updates that arise from the meeting and review those in a final joint session at the end of the day. This is a chance for early input into the evolution of new standards for publication of NMR structures. Registration for the workshop is $75 for students and postdoctoral fellows, $125 for all others. For further details, see the web pages at http://www.biochem.utah.edu/aca2007/index.html, which provides a registration form PDF under the appropriate tab. Deadline for advance registration is June 1.
