Solving the field\u2019s most complex challenges will require researchers who can strategically integrate these powerful tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course provides a comprehensive overview of modern structural biology methods, with emphasis on sample preparation, characterisation, and data integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key topics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multi-subunit protein expression in bacterial, insect, and mammalian systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Isolation of native complexes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>In vitro<\/em> reconstitution of protein and protein\u2013nucleic acid assemblies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biochemical and biophysical approaches to assess stoichiometry and homogeneity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest edition of this long-standing course features a refreshed lineup of speakers and topics, highlighting the strategic use of cutting-edge protein structure prediction methods, and recent advances in in situ structural biology. The programme aims to equip participants with the theoretical and practical skills needed to combine complementary approaches and apply them to contemporary structural biology research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced PhD students and postdocs, currently working on challenging projects in structural biology that would benefit form hybrid approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants will learn 3D structure determination of macromolecular assemblies at various resolution scales, and strategies to integrate data from X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, SAXS, NMR, mass spectrometry, smFRET, and super-resolution microscopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>The course on Structural Characterisation of Macromolecular Complexes was very engaging, with lecturers eager to learn about our projects and providing valuable insights.
