Understanding Protein Structure Determination

Summer School 1-6 September 1996

The Karolinska Institute's Center for Structural Biochemistry will hold its 6th summer school, entitled "Understanding Protein Structure Determination" on September 1-6, 1996. This is one of a series of short graduate courses organized each summer by the Summer University of Southern Stockholm at NOVUM Research Park, located about 15 km south of Stockholm. As usual we are aiming for an informal format with students on the graduate and postdoc levels. A fair amount of time will be set aside for discussions and social activities.

The topic of the 1996 summer school is intended to cover the two major protein structure determination techniques: X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Topics such as the physical basis, experimental aspects, computational and software aspects, quality assessment of determined structures, and effects of structural heterogeneity and dynamics will be addressed. Emphasis will be put on the complementarity of the two techniques.
