Second announcement 8th Workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology Oak Ridge, TN. June 5 - June 9, 2017 Detailed information can be found on the workshop web page: https://conference.sns.gov/event/66/ Application deadline: April 22, 2017 The workshop on Neutron Scattering Applications in Structural Biology aims at enabling structural biologists to fully exploit the latest instrumentation and software development at the SNS and HFIR facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Attendees will participate in lectures and tutorials focusing exclusively on neutron techniques applied in structural biology. The workshop is designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty new to or with limited experience of neutron scattering. Travel and accommodation expenses are supported for selected participants from the United States. International applications are welcome - however the course organization is not able to support travel or accommodation. The number of participants will be limited to 15. There is no registration fee for all selected participants. The application package consisting of 1) Information form, 2) CV, 3) Applicant motivation letter (1/2 to 1 page), 4) Principal Investigator letter of support (for graduate students only; 1/2 to 1 page), should be sent electronically to meilleurf(a)ornl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> before April 22, 2017.

Refinement of two co-factors at the same position
by Kornelius Zeth 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Dear all, I'm trying to refine the occupancy and position of two co-factors iron (III) and FEO (Fe-O-Fe) in a crystal structure. The iron (III) is placed with some occupancy on one of the iron positions in FEO. If I refine them together in Phenix with low occ phenix.refine moves the atoms apart. What is the best way of dealing with this problem? Thanks and best wishes Kornelius

Symposium on Understanding Biology through Structure, May 13-17, 2017, Santa Fe
by Wladek Minor 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Dear Colleagues, As a member of the organizing committee of "Understanding Biology through Structure", I'd like to encourage you to come to Santa Fe May 13-17 to attend this exciting Symposium. In addition to an exceptional set of talks including X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, biochemical and biophysical methods, the Symposium will emphasize interactions between junior and senior researchers. We hope that this will present a special opportunity for junior researchers to present posters and meet senior scientists, for senior researchers to meet the next generation of structural biologists, and for all to discuss science in an informal setting. The meeting website is at https://conferences.newmexicoconsortium.org/conferences/ubts_17 and the program can be seen at https://conferences.newmexicoconsortium.org/conferences/ubts_17/program Looking forward to seeing you there, Wladek Minor -- Dr. Wladek Minor Harrison Distinguished Professor Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics Phone: 434-243-6865 Fax: 434-243-2981 http://krzys.med.virginia.edu/CrystUVa/wladek.htm US-mail address: Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics University of Virginia PO Box 800736, Charlottesville, VA 22908-0736 Fed-Ex address: Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics 1340 Jefferson Park Avenue University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22908 ----
