-== Practical Protein Crystallization Course, Uppsala, Sep 15-19, 2008 ==
-The goal of the course is to present methods of macromolecular crystallization and give hands-on experience with them.  Participants may bring their own proteins. The course is divided into 50% lectures and 50% laboratory sessions.  Limit: 20 participants.
-*Topics to be covered by lectures and laboratory sessions include:
-*Conventional techniques and their modifications.
-*High-throughput crystallization screening.
-*The path to crystals.  The phase diagram and the kinetics of equilibration.
-*Optimization: Exploiting protein formulation, cocktail formulation, and time to equilibration.
-*Using a microfluidic device to determine protein precipitation boundaries.
-*A pro-active strategy for crystallization.
-*Oils as tools for crystallization.
-*How to choose your method of crystallization.
-*Seeding as an optimization tool.
-*Interpretation of the crystallization drop phenomenon:  recognizing what you see.
-*Does it matter what screen that you use?
-*Biophysical tools for crystallization:  mass spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, Thermofluor.
-*Crystal clear communication: the role of LIMS in a crystallization laboratory.
-*Cryoprotection.
