The training will involve one full day (9-5) on Tuesday Nov. 14, and the morning of the second day, Wednesday 15 Nov. The training is entitled: De-Mystifying X-ray Data Processing in Macromolecular Crystallography As the organizer, I invite you to attend this training event that offers a hands-on workshop to help you understand and optimize diffraction data in order to enable structure determination. This training is especially useful for early-stage PhD students, but we invite anyone interested in understanding better the key step of 'data reduction' to consider this introductory-level course. Discussion topics covered will include: · Crystals, lattices, point and space groups · Diffraction and the Ewald sphere · Indexing and space group determination · Scaling, mosaicity, anisotropy, twinning · XDS, MOSFLM and DIALS packages The training event will be delivered by leading software developers and experts in the field who will mentor participants, including Karine Sparta (Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, Germany), Phil Evans (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK), Bill Shepard (SOLEIL synchrotron, France), Harry Powell (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK), Kay Diederichs (University of Konstanz, Germany) and Graeme Winter (Diamond Light Source, UK).
