On behalf of the scientific organizers, I would like to invite you to participate at the: Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography, February 18-20th, 2009 at BESSY-II, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie. The third Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography (after Seefeld in 2006 and Bressanone in 2003) will bring together experts from different fields, which are key-players in the developments and further utilization of Soft X-ray applications in structural biology with the users of this modern methodology. The three days school will cover the following topics: (1) the design of soft X-ray sources, (2) the design of beamlines optimized for soft X-ray research, (3) new detectors, (4) optimal data collection procedures for soft X-ray diffraction, (5) new derivatization methods of biological macromolecules, (6) long wavelength approaches to increase the anomalous scattering of sulfur and other natively occurring anomalous scatterers, (7) treatment of soft X-ray data, (from processing towards the phasing and phase improvements), (8) radiation damage and its utilization to gain structural information. Scientific contributions from participants with examples of Soft X-ray related structural studies will be included in the program as well. The following speakers already agreed to participate: • George Sheldrick (Universität Göttingen) • Gerard Bricogne (Global Phasing, Cambridge) • Elspeth Garman (University of Oxford) • Bram Schierbeck (Bruker, Delft) • Christoph Müller-Dieckmann (ESRF, Grenoble) • Andy Thompson / Pierre Legrande (Soleil, Paris) • Armin Wagner (DIAMOND, Didcot) • Gwyndaf Evans (DIAMOND, Didcot) • BC Wang (University of Georgia, Athens) • Vincent Olieric (SLS, Villingen) • Kristina Djinovic Carugo (University Vienna) • Manfred S. Weiss (EMBL Hamburg) • Raymond B.G.
