Dear Colleagues A reminder that the Cold Spring Harbor Macromolecular Crystallography course will take place October 11-27th this year (pleased see below for more details). This comprehensive course is an outstanding place to learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of macromolecular crystallography. There are extensive lectures and practical sessions from world recognized experts in crystallization, data collection, data processing, structure solution, refinement, and validation. The goal of the course is for researchers who have had some exposure to structural biology to become experts in crystallography. This is an experience in macromolecular crystallography learning that cannot be found anywhere else, and the student/teacher ratio is often 1:1. Please follow the link below to the course web site. In particular, please note the information about the various fellowships, scholarships, and stipends that are available. Many applicants ultimately receive some form of financial support. If anyone has any questions please send me an e-mail, and we will be happy to answer all queries.

This course combines laboratory and computational instruction to train course participants in the major techniques used to determine three-dimensional structures. It is designed for scientists with a working knowledge of protein structure and function, but who are new to macromolecular crystallography or who wish to increase their in-depth knowledge of macromolecular crystallography. The advent of methods for the accurate prediction of protein structures is accelerating crystallography experiments, and the course will train researchers in how to best use these models. Topics Basic Diffraction Theory Structure Presentation Coordinate Deposition Structure Validation Model Building and Refinement Electron Density Maps Improvement Using Predicted Models in Structure Solution and Completion Protein Structure Prediction Structure Solution by Experimental Phasing Methods (SAD, MAD, MIR, and others) and Molecular Replacement Data Collection and Processing Synchrotron X-ray Sources and Optics Crystallization (Proteins, Nucleic Acids, Complexes and Membrane Proteins) Participants have extensive hands-on training in well-equipped labs in how to crystallize proteins and determine crystal structures by several methods, while learning through lectures on theory and methods. Both basic and advanced subjects are covered during lectures, which are given by leaders in the field. Informal discussions behind the techniques are frequent and students are expected to pose questions to be answered in interactive sessions.
