MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY MADE EASY WORKSHOP IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 2008年10月29日在匹兹堡大学结构生物学系举行了一次研讨会。该研讨会向与会者介绍了晶体学可以提供的结构信息，晶体学技术的基础知识（蛋白质结晶，X射线衍射数据收集和数据分析），然后演示了如何利用SSRL和Hauptman Woodward医学研究所（HWI）的自动化设施简化这些步骤。 讲习班的讲师和导师包括来自SSRL、HWI和匹兹堡大学结构生物学系的科学家。 40多名与会者参加了讲座，35名与会者代表匹兹堡大学以及其他七所大学和研究机构的许多系参加了实践课，其中包括三名来自欧洲的与会者（两名来自法国，一名来自德国）。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A workshop was conducted on October 29, 2008 at the University of Pittsburgh Structural Biology Department. This workshop introduced participants to what structural information crystallography can provide, the basics of crystallographic techniques (protein crystallization, x-ray diffraction data collection, and data analysis) and then demonstrated how these steps may be simplified by taking advantage of the automated facilities available at SSRL and the Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI). Workshop lecturers and tutors included scientists from SSRL, HWI and the University of Pittsburgh Structural Biology department. The lectures were attended by over 40 participants and 35 participants attended the hands-on sessions representing many departments at the University of Pittsburgh as well as seven other Universities and research institutions, including three participants who travelled from Europe to attend the workshop (two from France and one from Germany).
