Now in its 5th consecutive year, this unique and highly popular practical course covers computational aspects of protein structure determination, validation and analysis, including background in X-ray crystallography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Electron Microscopy and Small-angle X-ray scattering and hands-on experience in model building from X-ray diffraction data, comparing and integrating different types of structural data, and the differences in interpretation. Participants will also learn how to critically examine and validate data from these techniques.
The course is aimed at PhD students and post-docs working on the collection and analysis of protein structure data. The goal is to provide them with insight into the protein structure determination process, training on how to critically assess the quality of data from models, and expertise in the integration and visualisation of data from different techniques, thus allowing the analysis of protein structure data for functional relationships.
