Dear 3dem community,
<div class=""><br class="">
This is a reminder and additional details of an upcoming ‘Training Day’ organized by the<br class="">
Biochemical Society. <br class="">
<br class="">
Engineering recombinant proteins for structural and functional studies<br class="">
Tentative venue: CIWEM, Saffron Hill, Holborn, London EC1N 8QS (near Farringdon station)<br class="">
Currently, fees are Member £120 / Non member £175 / Student £60, although we are working<br class="">
to reduce the costs.<br class="">
<br class="">
The programme will address the limiting step in structural studies - the production of <br class="">
pure and homogenous proteins. Talks and discussions at this event will explore strategies <br class="">
to optimize membrane and soluble proteins/complexes for crystallization, cryo-EM and NMR studies. <br class="">
Discussions will include construct optimization, novel thermostability assays, <br class="">
crystallization tools and ‘tricks of the trade’ to enable structure determination. <br class="">
<br class="">
The list of invited speakers are experienced in the structure determination of <br class="">
membrane proteins, cytosolic/secreted proteins, and macromolecular signaling complexes: <br class="">
<br class="">
Edmund Kunji, Cambridge<br class="">
Daniel Panne, Leicester<br class="">
Maria Sasi Conte, King’s College<br class="">
Naomi Chayen, Imperal College<br class="">
Laura Itzhaki, Cambridge<br class="">
Chris Tate, Cambridge<br class="">
<br class="">
More details about the programme and venue will be provided in the coming weeks.<br class="">
<br class="">
Best wishes,<br class="">
<br class="">
Amir Khan, Harvard Medical School<br class="">
Rivka Isaacson, King’s College London<br class="">
