BioFEL Workshop at Lawrence Berekeley Laboratory on January 18-21, 2011.

该奖项部分支持劳伦斯伯克利实验室在生物科学中使用自由电子激光的研讨会。 讲习班将于2011年1月举行，约有120人参加。研讨会将探讨最近发明的硬X射线激光为生物学提供的令人兴奋的可能性。PI将汇集生物物理学，结构生物学，生物化学，加速器物理学和衍射物理学领域的领导者，以审查正在建造的许多自由电子激光器（FEL）的独特能力所提供的研究机会。所涵盖的主题将包括泵探测蛋白质动力学，在室温下的原位化学快照衍射，蛋白质的生长和合成，细胞和病毒的单次成像，快速从头波动SAXS，重建和定相算法，探测器，源和蛋白质束注入器。一个由高级生物学家组成的小组将概述结构生物学的需求，并建议该领域的发展路线。该研讨会由劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室，劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室，SLAC国家加速器实验室，亚利桑那州州立大学，以及加州大学戴维斯分校生物光子科学与技术中心共同资助。

This award partially supports a workshop at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory on the use of the Free Electron Laser in the biological sciences. The workshop will have approximately 120 attendees, and it will be held in January 2011. The workshop will explore the exciting possibilities which the recent invention of the hard Xray laser offers for biology. The PIs will bring together leaders in the fields of biophysics, structural biology, biochemistry, accelerator physics, and diffraction physics to review the research opportunities which the unique capabilities of the many Free Electron Lasers (FELs) which are being constructed provide. Topics covered will include pump-probe protein dynamics, in-situ chemical snapshot diffraction at room temperature, protein nanocrystal growth and synthesis, single-shot imaging of cells and viruses, fast ab-initio fluctuation SAXS, reconstruction and phasing algorithms, detectors, sources and protein-beam injectors. A panel of senior biologists will outline the needs of structural biology, and suggest lines of development for this field. The workshop is co-funded by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Arizona State University, and the Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology at University of California at Davis.
