The main objective of this course is to provide the fundamental concepts and integrative hands-on applications of Macromolecular Crystallography (MX), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Magnetic Resonance Mass Spectrometry (MRMS) and single-particle analysis cryo-Electron Microscopy (EM) in structural biology. The major strengths and limitations associated with each technique will be also highlighted and discussed along with their complementarity to achieve truly integrative structural biology approaches to tackle challenging scientific projects. In addition, this course also aims to i) disseminate the large range of structural biology services and techniques available through Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-
Discovery platforms; ii) help in the search for the adequate information on the respective webpages and iii) train the participants in the preparation of successful applications to Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-D. Our goal is to create awareness on the potential of Instruct-ERIC and iNEXT-Discovery, especially for young researchers,
to make them aware of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in structural biology offered by the aforementioned consortia and to become future users/providers of Instruct-ERIC.
