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 Accelerated Technologies Center for Gene to 3D Structure (ATCG3D) is an NIH Protein Structure Initiative Specialized Center focused on the accelerated development, integration, and deployment of three emerging technologies (tunable laboratory X-ray source, synthetic gene design, and nanovolume microfluidic crystallization) which have high potential to improve the economics of protein structure determination by X-ray crystallographic methods.
The ATCG3D is a specialized center of the Protein Structure Initiative Research Network (http://www.nigms.nih.gov/psi) and is funded by the NIH NIGMS and NIH NCRR.
