Hi all,
>From 14-18 November, an EMBO Practical Course on "Computational structural
biology - from data to structure to function" will be held at the EBI in
Cambridge (UK). The course is organised by James Watson, Rosemary Wilson,
Gerard Kleywegt, Victor Lamzin, Christine Orengo and Gert Vriend.
The course will address computational aspects of protein structure
determination, validation and analysis. Students will learn to critically
examine and validate data from the Protein Data Bank and use a variety of
analysis tools to identify similarities that can help identify function. The
course will also provide an introductory session to homology modelling for use
with proteins less amenable to structure determination. Finally, the importance
of protein structure to drug development will be illustrated with a day
focussing on protein interactions, small molecules, chemoinformatics and
docking. The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the
collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to provide them
with insight into the protein structure determination process, how to
critically assess the quality of data from models and also provide expertise in
the analysis of protein structure data with a view to predicting protein
function.
Registration for the course is now open. For more information, surf to:
