"S-SAD diffraction data phasing of macromolecule single crystals from home and Synchrotron X-ray sources" , second edition. The course wil teach state of the art methods and protocols in the collection, processing, scaling and phasing of S-SAD diffraction data from crystals of macromolecules aimed at obtaining the best possible interpretable map prior to model building.
To apply to the course, send by e-mail a short CV and a letter describing your experience in crystallography and how you expect to profit from the course (not more than 250 words) in one-PDF file to the organisers (sanctis@itqb.unl.pt and mateus@itqb.unl.pt) before the 31st of March.

A preliminary program can be downloaded here

The course will take place at the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB).
The ITQB is located in Oeiras, approximately 20 Km from Lisbon.

>Arriving by taxi

On arrival at the Lisbon airport, please go to the Visitors and Convention Bureau where there is a Taxi Voucher service from where you can get a taxi without queuing (The price of this service is around 35 Eur). Or queue for a taxi from the taxi rank immediately outside the arrivals section.
