<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Second Brazil
School for Single
Particle
Cryo Electron Microscopy - 2006<br>
will be an intensive 12 days hands-on course for learning the
processing
of single-particle <br>
cryo EM data from A to Z. The attendees can be those
who are
entirely new to the approach, <br>
or those for who the technique is of
growing
importance and who wish to acquire an <br>
in-depth understanding of the
technique. The
course covers all issues from data collection, <br>
through to the
interpretation of the cryo-EM
maps and the fitting of known X-ray structures. <o:p></o:p></p>
The students are expected to
bring along a modern notebook computer onto which all <br>
necessary
software will
be downloaded. Most processing will take place in the context <br>
of the
IMAGIC
software system but other software will be available. <br>
Various sample
cryo-EM
data sets will be distributed for processing during the course. <br>
Data
sets will
range from electron images asymmetric ribosome images to those of <br>
icosahedral
virus
capsids. Model data sets with also be distributed. Students may bring
<br>
along their own data sets for
processing/discussion. <o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
The conference site is located
close to the city of Araraquara, in the
interior of the state of <br>
Sao Paulo, Brazil. Araraquara, although
in the tropics, has a pleasant ~20º centigrade <br>
average temperature in
August (500 m above sea level). <span style="">Hotel Fazenda Salto
Grande</span> <br>
has optimal facilities for a school of this
size. <br>
