Dear All,
As an update to the earlier message, there has been a change in
instructors for
the Sunday short course X14: 3D Electron Microscopy of Macromolecular
Assemblies.
The section on docking of X-ray structures will now be taught by Dr.
Edward Morris from the Structural Biology group at the Institute of
Cancer Research in London, UK.
Course description (on-site registration is possible):
X14: 3D Electron Microscopy of Macromolecular Assemblies
Teresa Ruiz, Michael Radermacher, and Edward Morris
This short course will provide a comprehensive description of the
methods used for 3D structure determination of macromolecular
complexes from electron micrographs. First specimen preparation
techniques for single particles (deep stain, vitreous ice), will be
presented and the selection of imaging conditions including low-dose
imaging. This will be followed by a detailed explanation of image
processing techniques with special emphasis on the random conical
reconstruction technique. In the last part structure interpretation
and docking of X-ray structures to 3D EM densities will be demonstrated.
The techniques described have application in both biological and
materials science.
