Dear BB,
As you might be aware, there are a few microsymposia that have been added to this year’s IUCr conference on developments around SARS-CoV-2.
Given the wide interests of this board, I wanted to advertise all four of the sessions, for which the (official) deadline is TODAY:
- Structural biology of coronaviruses
This session covers new structural and functional insights about the life cycle and virus-host interaction of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses with a particular
view to integrative uses of crystallography in connection with other methods.
- New methods to fight the pandemic
This session covers new methods in crystallography and structural biology to better understand SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic, including advances
in computational methods, beamline instrumentation and integrative structural biology.
- Crystallography against Corona
This session covers the efforts of the crystallographic community to find drug candidates for COVID-19 both in-silico and in the lab by using structural models of viral proteins.
- Using crystallography for education during the pandemic

*** Please submit your abstracts today! If this isn’t possible, email us to let us know you intend to submit an abstract in the coming days! ***
For each session, 4 relevant abstracts will be selected for 20-minute presentations.
Looking forward to reading the abstracts,
Session co-chairs
