We would like to announce the Practical Course on Training in methods for Macromolecular Crystallography M2M-2009: From Measurement to Model. The course will take place at the EMBL Hamburg Outstation, the DESY synchrotron site during the period: Wednesday October 21st - Wednesday October 28th, 2009. The M2M course series was established in 1993 and has been at the forefront of training in structural biology, covering the essential steps in determining biomolecular structures. The M2M-2009 course will include practicals at synchrotron beamlines for macromolecular crystallography, computational tutorials and lectures on the use of synchrotron radiation and beamline equipment, sample handling and carrying out an experiment. Topics will also include data processing, structure solution, model building and validation. Invited speakers include K. Bartels (Norderstedt), T. Beck (Goettingen), A. Brunger (Stanford), Z. Dauter (Argonne), W. Kabsch (Heidelberg), W. Minor (Charlottesville), G. Murshudov (York), A. Perrakis (Amsterdam), H. Powell (Cambridge), T. Terwilliger (Los Alamos) and A. Vagin (York). Internal speakers from the EMBL are G. Bourenkov, M. Cianchi, S. Fiedler, M. Groves, V. Lamzin, G. Langer, S. Panjikar, U. Ristau, A. Schmidt, T. Schneider, P. Tucker, D. Watts and M. Weiss. The course is primarily supported by the European Macromolecular Crystallography Infrastructure network (MAXINF2), EC Contract No 505977. The number of places is restricted to 20. Applications can be made electronically via the link http://www.embl-hamburg.de/workshops/2009/m2m9/index.html The deadline for applications is September 10th, 2009.
