I will second this particular reference (below). A number of our SAXS users have found it to be one of the most accessible and practical guides for the non-specialist/non-physicist, with lots of emphasis on biological applications. Someone already mentioned the EMBO practical course web link, which is full of excellent material. For those in the U.S., several BioSAXS courses are offered periodically at NSLS & ALS. Also recently Rigaku is offering a course in the Woodlands Texas next month, I think. MacCHESS at Cornell will shortly be announcing a practical short course on BioSAXS, which includes time for data collection. The tentative date is March 25-26. I will make a formal announcement on this list soon, but anyone interested can send me email and I will add their name to the mail distribution list. Interested BioSAXS users can check out our web page for instructions on obtaining beamtime and preparing samples: www.macchess.cornell.edu/MacCHESS/bio_saxs.html Best Richard Gillilan MacCHESS Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source Ithaca, NY [log in to unmask] On Jan 11, 2011, at 12:06 AM, Edward Snell wrote: > I'd also highly recommend > > X-ray solution scattering (SAXS) combined with crystallography and computation: defining accurate macromolecular structures, conformations and assemblies in solution > Christopher D.
