Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography

February 18-20th, 2009 at BESSY-II, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie


Scope:

The third Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography (after Seefeld in 2006 and Bressanone in 2003) will bring together experts from different fields, which are key-players in the developments and further utilization of Soft X-ray applications in structural biology with the users of this modern methodology. The three days school will cover the following topics:

  • The design of soft X-ray sources,
  • The design of beamlines optimized for soft X-ray research,
  • New detectors,
  • Optimal data collection procedures for soft X-ray diffraction
  • New derivatization methods of biological macromolecules
  • Long wavelength approaches to increase the anomalous scattering of sulfur and other natively occurring anomalous scatterers
  • Treatment of soft X-ray data, (from processing towards the phasing and phase improvements) * Radiation damage and its utilization to gain structural information

Scientific contributions from participants with examples of Soft X-ray related structural studies will be included in the program as well.
