Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the upcoming EMBO practical course on "Computational Structural Biology - from data to structure to function" EMBL Hamburg, Germany 15th - 19th April 2013 The course covers computational aspects of protein structure determination, validation and analysis, including background in X-ray crystallography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy and Small-angle X-ray scattering and hands-on experience in model building from X-ray diffraction data, comparing and integrating different types of structural data, and the differences in interpretation. Students will also learn to critically examine and validate data from these techniques. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to provide them with insight into the protein structure determination process, how to critically assess the quality of data from models, and to provide expertise in the integration and visualisation of data from different techniques, thus allowing the analysis of protein structure data for functional relationships. For more information and to apply, please go to: http://events.embo.org/13-comp-structure/ Application deadline: 15th February 2013 We look forward to receiving your application! Kind regards, Margret On behalf of the organising committee, Gerard Kleywegt Victor Lamzin Christine Orengo Gert Vriend Rosemary Wilson
