Macromolecular Crystallography
	Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, NY October 11 - 24
	Crystallography and X-ray diffraction yield a wealth of structural information unobtainable through other methods. This **intensive** laboratory/computational course focuses on the major techniques used to determine the three-dimensional structures of macromolecules. It is designed for scientists with a working knowledge of protein structure and function, but who are new to macromolecular crystallography. Topics covered include crystallization (proteins, nucleic acids and complexes), crystal characterization, X-ray sources and optics, crystal freezing, synchrotron data collection, data reduction, multiple isomorphous replacement, multiwavelength anomalous diffraction phase determination, solvent flattening, molecular replacement, electron density interpretation, structure refinement, molecular graphics, non crystallographic, symmetry averaging symmetry, and coordinate desposition. Participants learn through extensive hands-on experiments. They crystallize and determine a protein structure, along with lectures on the theory and informal discussion behind the techniques.
