The course is designed primarily for structural biologists who have prokaryotic expression experience and would like to use the mammalian expression system for more challenging targets. The goals of the course are to allow participants to have hands-on experience of mammalian cell culture, small and large scale transient gene expression including the use of automated systems, protein purification and crystallisation. The course will be structured so as to interleave lectures and practical sessio...

The Gordon Research Conference on Computational Aspects of Biomolecular NMR provides a unique forum to present newly emerging computational and experimental methods that will drive NMR applications to ever more complex and challenging biomolecular systems. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful biophysical techniques for studying biomolecules. Progress in NMR to probe hitherto inaccessible aspects of biomolecular behavior has regularly resulted directly from ad...

The aim of this course is to teach cutting-edge EM techniques for Cell Biologists on a high theoretical and practical level. EM is technically one of the most demanding set of approaches to learn; many aspects can only reasonably be understood by watching a specialist. Despite the vast number of technical books available, there is clearly no substitute for hands-on training. Therefore the main emphasis in this course is put on the practical training....

OverviewThis 2011 Gordon conference will provide a forum for discussion of the latest progress in three-dimensional electron microscopy of macromolecular assemblies and sub-cellular components. Progress has been made in three major areas:Towards atomic resolution for 3D structures of periodic, symmetrical and asymmetrical particles by a combination of 3D electron microscopy, X-ray structure fitting and structure prediction using EM density maps as constraints.Towards understanding the dynamics o...
The second community-building symposium aiming to bring together biophysicists, biochemists and biologists interested in the field of macromolecular hydrodynamics, from aqueous solutions to living cells, and its implications for the understanding of biological processes.Open to all scientists of academic and non-academic institutions from France and neighbouring countries.Abstract submission deadline: March 31st, 2011Registration deadline: May 31st, 2011...
Proteomics encompasses the large-scale study of the entire collection of proteins of an organism or system. Although great technical progress in this field has granted deeper insight into the cellular network, a challenge is still presented by the enormous range of protein abundance, dynamics, modifications and interactions. Proteomic techniques, and in particular mass spectrometry, provide very powerful tools to address these questions by identifying proteins, quantifying their expression...
The AFMB will organize the fourth EMBO practical course on 'High Throughput Methods for Protein Production and Crystallization' (HTMPPC) next summer in Marseille (France). This course is every two years and its venue is either in Marseille (France) or Oxford (UK). This course alternates with the EMBO practical PEPC course (Hamburg, Germany).If you want to participate or see the program go to: http://events.embo.org/11-HTP.
