HSC6: Advances and New Applications of Synchrotron Radiation for Structural Biology

Grenoble, 7 to 13 October 2007

Part of the Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses

SCOPE

In this wide field of Structural Biology many Synchrotron Radiation techniques are used to gain insight into the function of complex biological systems, this study is increasingly multidisciplinary. It is not straightforward to choose, within the spectrum of analytical tools available , the best techniques for a given scientific question. In this context, HSC6 will allow scientists interested in structure in biology to gain experience in state of the art synchrotron techniques. Participants will have the opportunity to explore structure from the micron to atomic scale. The methods explored will include small angle scattering, macromolecular crystallography, biological X-ray fluorescence imaging, circular dichroism and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The course will combine lectures and practicals in equal part.
