CCP4 Practical Course 2023

Join CCP4 Practical Course 2023

CCP4 is major software package for bio-crystallography computational tasks. It covers whole data interpretation procedure including diffraction data processing, structure solution, model building and refinement, structure validation, and more. During the course, participant will familiarize with CCP4 environment and major steps. Participants are welcome to bring their own data.

Dates:
 May 24-26, 2023

Venue: Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Biocev Centre, Vestec near Prague

Aim: The course will provide basic and applied training in evaluation of X-ray diffraction data using CCP4 software suite. The scope will cover whole procedure from processing of the diffraction images to structure validation.

Format: The course will be partially talks and partially hands-on tutorials. The participants are encouraged to bring their own data. Talks will be accessible to anyone, number of places for practicals is limited and registration is required.

Participation fee: free

To apply: Closed

Deadline: May 12, 2023
