Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the organizers, Maria Armenia Carrondo and Thomas R. Schneider

*COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT - BIOCRYS 2010*

Fundamentals of Modern Methods in Biocrystallography - 'What you always
wanted to know about crystallography but never dared to ask'

http://biocrys2010.itqb.unl.pt/

9th - 16th October 2010 at the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e
Biológica, Oeiras, Portugal.

The topics of the fifth edition of this course will run from
fundamentals such as symmetry, point groups and crystal systems, basic
diffraction physics, reciprocal space and the Ewalds sphere, radiation
damage, data processing, structure factors, Patterson function to modern
methodologies including molecular replacement, SAD, MAD, MIR and maximum
likelihood phasing, density modification, refinement, model building,
twinning and structure validation.

The course will be organized with lectures in the mornings and
interactive practicals and tutorials in the afternoons. Evening lectures
on current topics will be presented by the invited speakers. A poster
presentation will be held in the afternoon of the first two days of the
course.

speakers and tutors:

M. Archer, I. Bento, G. Bunkoczi, K. Cowtan, Z. Dauter, C. Frazão,, E.

Garman, C. Hermes,E. Hough, G. Leonard, A. Leslie, A. Liljas, B. Lohkamp,

P. Matias, C. McVey, A. Perrakis, T. Schneider, C. Vonrhein.

36 participants will be selected with preference to scientists at the
beginning of their crystallographic career.

A registration fee of 600 Euros for academic and 1000 Euros for
non-academic applicants is requested for full board and accommodation.
Selected applicants will have to pay the registration fee by bank
transfer before arrival.

A limited number of grants is available for PhD and postdoctoral fellows
within five years of obtaining PhD from the FEBS Youth Travel Fund
(YTF). Applicants from Africa, Asia, North and South America may benefit
from a Transcontinental YTF grant. The YTF (and TransYTF) grants support
for travel, registration, as well as accommodation and food. Applicants
to these grants must provide additional information and fulfill those
conditions as specified in the FEBS website, in particular be a member
of a national FEBS Constituent Society or IUBMB-related national or
international.

For an application, please fill the form on the web page by the 31th of
July.
