From: John Rose rose {- at -} BCL4 {- dot -} BMB {- dot -} UGA {- dot -} EDU Date: 2009-09-02 Dear Colleague, Both B.C. Wang and I would like to direct your attention to a meeting that we are hosting at UGA on October 29-31, 2009. The scientific sessions include RNA crystallography, small angle scattering, neutron diffraction, protein complexes and more. As the announcement below shows, the session organizers have put together an outstanding and exciting program that we feel will be of interest to the community. You and your students and staff are invited to attend. Please mark your calendar. Please forward this announcement to your colleagues who may be interested in attending the meeting. P.S. Registered graduate students can attend the conference for free. Best Regards, John & B.C. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ First Announcement The 67th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference will be held October 29th - 31st at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education Dear Colleague: On behalf of the program committee, you and your colleagues are cordially invited to join us for the 67th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference. Program Topics RNA Crystallography, Protein Small Angle X-ray Scattering, Diffraction Studies of Materials, Small Molecule Neutron Diffraction, and Crystallization of Protein-Protein Complexes. In addition, a new feature of the conference is the Pittsburgh Diffraction Society Future Leaders Symposium, which will highlight outstanding research carried out by graduate and undergraduate students. Workshop on sulfur SAD Phasing: The conference will be preceded by a hands-on workshop on sulfur-SAD phasing organized by John Rose & Bi- Cheng Wang on October 28th. Note the workshop is limited to 50 participants. We look forward to seeing you in Athens! John P. Rose President-elect, Pittsburgh Diffraction Society, and The Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference Session Organizers: Christine Hoffmann, M. Gary Newton, Joseph Ng, Jeff Urbauer, Bi-Cheng Wang, Joseph Wedekind, Angus Wilkinson Important Links: 1.

See www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/conferences/2009/Oct/29/pittdifsoc.phtml for Conference Registration details or call 1-800-884-1381 or (706) 542-2134 to register by telephone. Conference Workshop A Practical Guide to Sulfur SAD Phasing Organized by John Rose & Bi-Cheng Wang October 28th (9:00 am - 5:00 pm) Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Georgia Sulfur-SAD phasing, using soft X-rays, is attractive in that the sulfur atoms from the methionine or cysteine residues found in the native protein can be used as phasing probes. This eliminates the requirement for selenomethionyl labeling, which may be problematic in eukaryotic systems, or heavy atom labeling, which is time consuming. However, the sulfur anomalous scattering signal is small and care must be taken to optimize all aspects of the experiment. The hands-on workshop will focus on our (and others experience) in the optimization of all aspects of the Sulfur-SAD experiment. Workshop instructors Bi-Cheng Wang, University of Georgia John Rose, University of Georgia John Chrzas, SER-CAT, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory Zheng-Qing Fu, SER-CAT, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory Others The workshop fee is $50.00. However, the workshop is limited to 50 participants due to the number of workstations available. See www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/conferences/2009/Oct/29/pittdifsoc.phtml for registration details. For additional information and instructions related to the conference program please visit our website: (www.pittdifsoc.org/PDC_2009/index.htm) or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Abstract Preparation Guidelines Abstracts should be submitted to Prof. M.
