<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Santa Rita Single
Particle School will be an intensive
12 days hands-on course for learning the processing of single-particle
cryo EM
data from A to Z. The attendees can be those who are entirely new to
the
approach, or those for who the technique is of growing importance and
who wish
to acquire an in-depth understanding of the technique. The course
covers all
issues from data collection, through to the interpretation of the
cryo-EM maps
and the fitting of known X-ray structures. <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The students are expected to bring along a modern
notebook computer onto which all necessary software will be downloaded.
Most
processing will take place in the context of the IMAGIC software system
but
other software will be available. Various sample cryo-EM data sets will
be
distributed for processing during the course. Data sets will range from
entirely asymmetric ribosome images to those of icosahedral virus
capsids.
Students may bring along their own data sets for processing/discussion.
<br>
<u1:p></u1:p><br>
The conference site is located close to the beautiful old city of <st1:City><st1:place>Santa
Rita</st1:place></st1:City> do Passa Quatro, in the interior of the
state of <st1:place><st1:City>Sao Paulo</st1:City>, <st1:country-region>Brazil</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
Santa Rita, although in the tropics, has a pleasant ~20º centigrade
average
temperature in August (750 m above sea level).<span style="">
</span>Hotel Fazenda Glória has optimal facilities for a school of this
size. <br>
