Main Pavilion. Registration for the workshop is additional to the Congress registration.
Workshop fee is € 100,00 (€ 60,00 for students). Deadline for registration:
July 31, 2005.
Putting the Pedal to the Metal: High Throughput Protocols for Crystallization (14.00-16.30)
Chair:
Joseph D. Ng ngj@email.uah.edu (ngj@email.uah.edu)
Full day workshop
Please note the change of scheduling with respect to the paper version
of the second circular. The registration fee includes applications for
both workshops. Due to organizative reasons, the number of participants for each workshops is limited to 80.
Workshop N. 3
Introduction to Small-Angle Scattering
Full day workshop
organized by Jan Skov Pedersen The workshop will cover the following
topics: - introduction, basic theory (simple form factors, Porod, Guinier,
Invariant) and contrast variation - instrumentation and smearing effects
- modelling - free-form approaches (Indirect Fourier transformation), ab-initio
methods - applications in: material science, molecular biology, polymer solutions
and soft matter and bulk polymers
Workshop N. 4
Structural Analysis of Aperiodic Crystals
Full day
workshop chaired by Sander van Smaalen and Ray L. Withers This workshop
is intended to give an overview of the state of the art of crystallographic analysis
of incommensurately modulated crystals, incommensurate composite crystals, polytypes
and quasicrystals. Introductory lectures will present the basic phenomena related
to aperiodic order, including diffraction and morphology, and the fundamental
principles of the superspace descriptions of their crystal structures. The afternoon
session will be devoted to recent developments and applications of superspace
crystallography.
Full day workshop
chaired by Roland Boese(University of Essen,
Germany)and Chick Wilson (University
of Glasgow, UK); co-organized by European Crystallographic
Association SIGs on Molecular Interaction and Recognition and Molecular Structure
and Chemical Properties with the support of the IUCr Commissions on Structural
Chemistry and Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials.
Organizing Committee: Paola Gilli (University
of Ferrara, Italy) and Martin U. Schmidt (University of Frankfurt, Germany).
This full-day workshop will cover theory and experimental techniques for the crystallization
of molecular inorganic, organic and organometallic compounds (except biological
compounds).
Topics include:
- Thermodynamic and kinetic factors in nucleation and crystal growth - Crystallization
techniques, including non-ambient methods - In-situ crystallization of liquids
and gases - Co-crystallization (mixed crystals, solid solution, host-guest
systems) - Growth of large single crystals - Polymorph screening
Grants are available. Requests should be sent to Martin U. Schmidt
Workshop N. 6
A Protein Crystallographic Toolbox: CCP4 Software Suite
This full-day workshop will include an introduction to CCP4, the CCP4
package and associated software and the CCP4 data formats, which will be
suitable for new or inexperienced users. It will then focus on a small
number of specific programs (MOSFLM/SCALA, REFMAC5, CCP4 Molecular
Graphics and COOT) in a way that will also be of interest to the more
experienced crystallographer who is willing and able to delve deeper into
the options available in these programs.
The RCSB Protein Data Bank (www.pdb.org) has developed several tools to
make structure deposition simple and easy. PDB_EXTRACT collects
information from a variety of programs used in structure determination.
These data are compiled into a file that can be uploaded into the
deposition tool ADIT.
There will be presentations by CCP4 and RCSB PDB staff and developers as
well as the opportunity for informal group or individual discussions and
tutorials throughout the IUCr at the CCP4 and RCSB PDB booths in the
exhibit hall.
The objective of this one-day workshop is not to teach crystallography but
to teach people how to use some of the programs distributed with the CCP4
package to do protein crystallography, and how to get the best from the
PDB when they deposit their structures.
