This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The fifth annual Structural Molecular Biology Summer School was held at SSRL September 12-15, 2005. The school focused on two synchrotron based techniques: x-ray absorption spectroscopy and macromolecular crystallography, and the application of these techniques to biological problems. It consisted of one and a half days of lectures, followed by two days of practical sessions. This year's summer school was attended by 21 students and was led by a team of 14 tutors. It consisted of a day and a half of lectures, followed by two days of rotating practical sessions, concluding with another half day of lectures on advanced topics in synchrotron-based structural molecular biology The goal of the Summer School was to introduce the participants to the synchrotron-based techniques, disseminate information about current scientific opportunities in synchrotron radiation applications in biology, and train students on the principles and practices of data acquisition and data analysis methods.
