Crystallography of molecular biology - Erice 2000 : tutorials and demos page

List of tutorial and demo sessions

We anticipatate that everyone listed in the program (and who did not protest yet) will be willing to conduct one or more tutorial or demo session(s). The list is not closed and will remain open also to others, who would like to teach aspects of macromolecular crystallography in a form of a demo and/or tutorial session.

A demo/tutorial will last no longer than 30 mins and that the most popular tutorials will be repeated up to 3 to 4 times in the 2.5 h slot available (provided the tutor is willing and does not wish to attend the early afternoon lectures). It is not expected that tutors will work in the evenings unless they volunteer. In general tutorial should be more like a class with say 8-10 people maximum.

The titles of tutorials are tentative and will be revised in response to presenters requests. The order will be revised to match the timetable.

Paul Adams PDAdams@lbl.gov : CNS refinement

Elenor Dodson ccp4@yorvic.york.ac.uk : CCP4 Program Suite

Alwyn T. Jones alwyn@xray.bmc.uu.se and : Density interpretation

David Sayre sayre@xray1.physics.sunysb.edu : "I am willing and indeed interested in contributing a tutorial on my presentation. I would not have any special materials, but would simply think in terms of a question-and-discussion period, since the ideas will not have been completely familiar to people and the opportunity to ask questions in the morning session would have been brief."

George M. Sheldrick gsheldr@shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de : In addition to "direct methods" I could also offer "MAD phasing" and "high-resolution refinement" SHELX for Macromolecules

Tom Terwilliger terwilliger@lanl.gov : Automated MAD and MIR phasing SOLVE "It would be best if the tutorials were only about 2 students + me at a time, or at least a max of 2 students per computer, however. The ones with 10 people on one computer are not nearly as valuable."

Dusan Turk dusan.turk@ijs.si : From initial phases to the final structure: interactive control and assistance of automated and manual features MAIN 2000

Henderson, Crowther: Tutorials on EM methods

A. McPherson : Crystallisation

G. DeTitta : Crystallisation

E.F. Garman : Cryocrystallography

Jorge Navaza jnavaza@pasteur.fr : Molecular replacement with AMoRe AMoRe FTP server

Gerard Bricogne gb10@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk
BUSTER Maximum-Likelihood Refinement of Incomplete Models with BUSTER and TNT SHARP MAD and MIR phasing

J.M. Thornton thornton@biochem.ucl.ac.uk

John Irwin jji@ebi.ac.uk I will present an informal demonstration of the new deposition and query system for the PDB based on a relational database that I have been working on for the past year or so.

Victor Lamzin Victor@embl-hamburg.de , Anastassis Perrakis perrakis@embl-grenoble.fr Atomating model building and refinement wARP

A.G.W. Leslie andrew@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk MOSFLM

Z. Otwinowski zbyszek@mix.swmed.edu DENZO 2000

Registration

The tutors/demonstrators will give a 3 minute introductionary talk about their demo/tutorial. The participants will be able to signup on the sheets available the first day so that we can, based on demand, allocate rooms and people to match subscriptions. If found necessary we will set some limitation rules regarding attendance the demo sessions. It will be helpful that participants besides signing specify also the order of priorities for each visit.

Computers in Erice

John Irwin jji@ebi.ac.uk from EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK is taking care for all aspects of IT support in Erice. For more information, please see the Erice Crystallography 2000 IT Support web page at in Europe or in North America
