Macromolecular Crystallography: introduction and applications

International workshop

26th April – May 7th, 2010
Institut Pasteur Montevideo
Montevideo, Uruguay

X ray crystallography is one of the most powerful methods to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules with atomic resolution. The principal aim of this course is to give intense hands-on training in all main aspects of macromolecular 3D structure determination by X ray diffraction.

The course will include lectures delivered by a number of international experts in the discipline, linked to hands-on experimental work and software tutorials. 

It is intended for advanced graduate students, postdocs and young investigators who deal with structural biology or are willing to get involved.

Official language will be English.
