CCP4/BCA Protein Crystallography Summer School

The course aims to cover the theoretical and practical aspects of protein
crystallography from protein expression and purification, through crystal
growth to data collection on in-house and synchrotron sources, phasing
methods, automated model building and phase extension, refinement, and
validation. Hands-on sessions in data processing (XIA2, DIALS), molecular
replacement, MAD/SAD phasing, refinement and electron density map
interpretation (in COOT) will be included.

The School is intended for postgraduates or postdocs new to
crystallography. The week is very intensive, and gives a concentrated
overview of the methods which many find useful.

As in the past, priority is given to UK applicants because of the funding
arrangements, but is open to a limited number of overseas applicants.
