International School of Structural Biology and Magnetic Resonance, ERICE-SICILY, Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture
22 June to 3 July 2005
COURSE FORMAT & PURPOSE: The format of the course is an Advanced Study Institute (ASI), sponsored by NATO. The course will focus on the interface between structural biology, biochemistry and biophysics, in which lies the fertile ground of drug development, biotechnology and new materials. The goal of this ASI is to provide a crossroads to discuss new technologies in structural biology and biophysics, and their implications for drug discovery and materials development. The ASI will allow intense discussion between students and lecturers, with a comprehensive overview of a complex, critical and fast-moving area of modern research. It is an ideal course for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Please note that the structure of the course provides a great opportunity for young scientists to present their work.SPECIFIC TOPICS: Principles of NMR; Principles of X-ray diffraction; Dynamics and refinement; Analysis and Computation in NMR; NMR and crystallography of RNA, proteins and their complexes; Protein folding; Metalloenzymes; New methods in NMR and crystallography; Single-molecule analysis of biomolecules; Solid state NMR; New technologies in fighting CBRN agents; Viral and bacterial RNA drug targets; Membrane protein NMR and peptide drugs; Methods for studying protein dynamics; Biochemical and spectroscopic methods; Novel NMR methods for membrane proteins; Structural genomics of critical pathogens; Technology transfer in US; Cutting edge NMR for the future; Perspectives for the future of biophysics; Partner Country priorities.
