From jtexter At emich.edu Tue Dec 12 21:50:53 2006 From: jtexter At emich.edu (John Texter) Date: Wed Dec 13 14:52:43 2006 Subject: [X-plor] Chemistry of Supramolecules and Assemblies Message-ID: <9658fd9651bd.9651bd9658fd@emich.edu> Colleague, Our next Gordon Research Conference on Chemistry of Supramolecules and Assemblies will be held May 6-11, 2007 at the Il Ciocco resort hotel in Barga, Italy, a pleasant region of Tuscany. We offer an all star cast of speakers on cutting edge science addressing Functional Materials Through Bottom-Up Self-Assembly. To review this exciting program, please use the following url: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2007&program=supramol We are 2/3 full (100 of 150 maximum capacity), so a speedy application should be placed if you wish to attend. To apply, click on the on- line application link in the upper right corner of the page reached through the above url. We will admit a limited number of students presenting posters, but the emphasis will be on admitting seasoned investigators in order to insure the highest quality discussions. The conference venue is one of the most sought after in the GRC system. I look forward to your joining us in Tuscany for intense discussions on Supramolecules and Assemblies! Please let your colleagues, business development managers, and scientists know of this exciting confernece! Best wishes, John Texter, Co-Chair 2007 GRC on Supramolecules and Assemblies John Texter, PhD Professor of Polymers and Coatings College of Technology Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, MI 48197 734-487-4587 jtexter@emich.edu From sweet At bnl.gov Mon Dec 18 10:19:17 2006 From: sweet At bnl.gov (Robert Sweet) Date: Mon Dec 18 14:56:06 2006 Subject: [X-plor] The BNL-Biology and NSLS Course on Synchrotron Data Collection: Please Apply Message-ID: We are offering RapiData 2007, the eighth offering of our popular course: Rapid Data Collection and Structure Solving at the NSLS: A Practical Course in Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction Measurement The course will be held 22-27 April 2007. Students could be at any level from advanced undergraduate to full professor. 48 students will be accepted; 24 will bring their own specimens for data collection. Please read the course description at http://www.px.nsls.bnl.gov/RapiData2007/. You'll see that many experts in the field will be available for lectures and tutorials, and you'll find the application materials at this site. For the fourth time we will hold a short lecture course on the fundamentals of crystallography for roughly five hours on Sunday 22 April. The body of the RapiData course really requires that students have a healthy knowledge of crystallography. For potential students who have some experience but are shaky about fundamentals, this course will help. There will be a small additional fee for the fundamentals course, to pay for Saturday night accomodations and food on Sunday morning and noon. Latin American Scientists: Several scholarships are available, from the International Union of Crystallography, to pay partial travel and subsistence costs for Latin-American students and junior faculty. Please apply for the course, and then contact R. Sweet (sweet@bnl.gov) if you are interested in applying for a scholarship. In accordance with the standards of the International Union of Crystallography, we observe the basic policy of non-discrimination, affirming the right and freedom of scientists to associate in international scientific activity without regard to such factors as citizenship, religion, creed, political stance, ethnic origin, race, colour, language, age, or gender, in accordance with the Statutes of the International Council for Science. At this course no barriers will exist beyond the application procedure that would prevent the participation of bona fide scientists. ========================================================================= Robert M.

While editing the generate.inp - file, I have to define "those residues which need to have the patch applied to make them DNA". Does anyone know which nomenclature I have to use? The problem why my job ended up with an error message could be, that I have two chains (E and F) in my pdb file each with residues 1 to 12. What do I have to type in the box in order to get really DNA and not the O2` atoms of RNA? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Kristina
