EMBO practical course on solution scattering from biological macromolecules
October 25 - November 1, 2010
EMBL Hamburg

The course aims at young biochemists/biophysicists and researchers active in related structural methods with little or no experience in solution scattering. The course will cover basics of SAXS and SANS, instrumentation, data collection, modelling techniques and complementary use with other methods. The students will be encouraged to bring their own samples to perform synchrotron solution scattering experiments on-site and the results will be used for practical tutorials and discussed on the last day of the course.
