GECRY SCHOOL #2

From Crystal to Structure

This school was thought for beginners in the world of protein crystallography.

Due to the pandemic, the session initially planned for March 2020 at Elettra synchrotron, was postponed 21-25 September 2020 as a fully online training course.

Students participating in the course attended common theoretical sessions and were divided in groups for the rotation tutorials. Virtual machines with the necessary software and training datasets were provided in advance of the session and participants were invited to use their own computers to practice and solve problems posed during the training.
