General Information
The 2010 NIGMS Workshop: Enabling Technologies in Structure and Function continues a series of annual meetings held by NIGMS Protein Structure Initiative participants, which were popularly designated "Bottlenecks" Workshops. The primary focus of this 2½ day meeting will be the technical issues affecting the speed, cost, and success of protein structure determination and the combination of structure with other biophysical methods to enable functional characterization of macromolecules.
The 2010 meeting will address a wide range of topics applicable to all scales of effort, from the individual bench scientist to high-throughput research centers. The workshop program will include oral platform and poster presentations as well as workshops emphasizing the combination of methods and technologies for protein structure determination and other biophysical methods applied to all classes of proteins, from uncharacterized hypothetical proteins to membrane proteins and protein-protein complexes.
The poster session will include contributions from all scientists participating in the workshop. Members of the structural biology community at large and scientists involved in structural efforts outside the United States are especially encouraged to attend. As with the past workshops, we hope to stimulate the freest and most energetic exchange on all practical issues in protein structure determination and biophysical methods at all levels.
