ANNOUNCEMENT
THE THIRD BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM
7-19 August 2008
This school will be an intensive 12-day hands-on course/workshop for
learning the processing of single-particle cryo EM data from A to Z.
Attendees can be those who are entirely new to the approach or those for
whom 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 X-ray structures.
The attendees are expected to bring along a modern notebook computer
onto which all necessary software will be installed. 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
electron images of the asymmetric ribosome to those of icosahedral virus
capsids. Students may bring along their own data sets for
processing/discussion. New advanced topics include: “full-dataset CTF
correction”, “full-dataset automatic particle selection”, and exploiting
astigmatism to achieve atomic resolution.
The conference site is located in the beautiful historical city of
Paraty on the Atlantic coast between the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. Paraty, although in the tropics, has a pleasant average
temperature in August (winter on the Southern hemisphere).
