        SHAPE DETERMINATION OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES IN SOLUTION
                       AND RELATED TOPICS

A  workshop  on  this   topic  supported  in  part  by  the  EU  TMR  grant
ERBFMGECT980134 "Access to Large scale facilities" will be held at the

   EMBL Outstation on the DESY site in Hamburg on November 26 - 27, 1999

 Invited lectures will be given by:
