WeNMR workshop on structure determination biomolecular complexes
*Participants are asked to bring a laptop with wireless access and leave at least 10 GB space on the hard drive.
Date: Monday, 18 β Wednesday, 20 March 2013
Venue: 3F, Building for Humanities and Social Science, Academia Sinica
The objective of WeNMR is to optimize and extend the use of the NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering) research infrastructures through the implementation of an e-infrastructure in order to provide the user community with a platform integrating and streamlining the computational approaches necessary for NMR and SAXS data analysis and structural modelling. Access to the e-NMR infrastructure is provided through a portal integrating commonly used software and GRID technology.
The workshop will provide a general introduction to grid computing and the WeNMR services currently available through the WeNMR virtual research community portal (www.wenmr.eu), and then focus on several topics, including automated NMR data assignment and structure calculation using UNIO/Xplor-NIH, SAXS for biomolecular complexes, structure refinements and in silico docking for protein-small molecule and protein-protein systems. Participants will have the opportunity to know more about the theories behind experimental and computational structural biology and gain experience in the use of the software packages through a guided hands-on tutorials.
