We are pleased to announce the 7th annual SIBYLS bioSAXS workshop. Date: October 4th - 5th, 2016 , Location: Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA for more details see: http://sibyls.als.lbl.gov/ The 7th annual SIBYLS bioSAXS workshop will cover frontiers in Biological SAXS. The two-day workshop will provide participants with software tutorial sessions for biological SAXS in addition to hands-on training in experimental techniques. The latest advances in SAXS studies on biological systems will be discussed with particular focus on advances in synchrotron scattering techniques, dynamic and flexible structures in biomolecule, membrane protein scattering, and complementary methods in crystals and in solution. Updates on current developments of software for SAXS analysis pertaining to structural biology will be illustrated. The first day of the workshop will begin with a brief run-through on current updates. Greg Hura, Berkeley Lab’s SAXS Beamline Scientist, will introduce the capabilities of the new detector and the future of high throughput SAXS at the SIBYLS Beamline 12.3.1. The keynote speakers, Frank Gabel (IBS, Grenoble), Hayden Mertanes (EMBL, Hamburg), and Robert Rambo (Diamond, Oxford) will continue Dr. Hura’s and Hammel’s discussion by elaborating on the basics of bioSAXS.
