Joint INSTRUCT-CAPRI Workshop on Integrative Modelling of Protein-Protein Interactions

Training

Date: 01-Apr-2019 to 02-Apr-2019

Contact: Alexandre Bonvin

Instruct

This workshop on integrative modelling of protein-protein interactions will run from the 1st - 2nd April 2019 at EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, starting at lunch time on the Monday. It will run prior to the 7th CAPRI Assessment Meeting, which will also take place at the Wellcome Genome Campus (3rd to 5th April 2019).  For information about the venue and the CAPRI meeting please refer to events website

The aim of this practical course is to train young researchers in the computational modelling of protein-protein interactions using a variety of data sources, including X-ray crystallography, NMR, SAXS, cross-linking mass spectrometry and Cryo-EM. The course will introduce and make extensive use of common software and e-science portals to facilitate the adoption of the methods and techniques by the students in their everyday work.  Each session (2 hours) will consist of an introductory lecture followed by a hands on computer practical.

Lead contact: Prof. Dr. Alexandre M.J.J. Bonvin – a.m.j.j.bonvin@uu.nl
