DESCRIPTION:\n\nWe want to wish you welcome to the 1st Workshop from LINXS
  Membrane Protein Working Group. taking place digitally on Zoom.\n\nThe Me
 mbrane Protein Working Group is dedicated to explore the unique challenges
  involved in research on the structural biology of membrane proteins. Our 
 first\, "Structural Resolution of Membrane Proteins: From Expression to Sa
 mple Preparation'' workshop will focus specifically on three areas: expres
 sion systems\, sample preparation and quality control. \n\nAIM\n\nThe aim
  is to provide expert overview about different platforms for recombinant p
 rotein productions and purification strategies for crystallography techniq
 ues. Overcoming low yield expression\, misfolded proteins and difficulties
  in purifying stable functional proteins are among the most common bottlen
 ecks delaying structural characterization. We invite scientists to introdu
 ce their best practices in these subjects in order to provide greater know
 ledge and knowledge transfer on how best to deal with these challenges.\n\
 nCONTRIBUTED TALKS\n\nWe hope to engage the attendance from PhD students a
 nd postdocs from a range of disciplines\, as well as more senior researche
 rs. We are encouraging participants\, and especially PhD students\, to co
 nsider presenting their research in a contributed talk (call for abstract
 s) and also to promote lively discussions. \n\nCONTENT\n\nPlease find a m
 ore detailed schedule under Timetable\, with abstracts from the speakers.\
 n\nDay 1:\n\n\n	\n	Workshop aims and scope of the general problem\n	\n	\n	
 Membrane Protein Expression\n	- Comparison of different expression systems
  \n	- Success stories vs trouble-shooting problem areas\, trial and error
 \n	\n\n\n\n	\n	Confirmed speakers:\n	Roslyn Bill (Aston University) - Rec
 ombinant membrane protein production in microbial hosts\n	David Drew (Stoc

 e further on topics about membrane protein crystallization techniques\, Cr
 yo-EM or neutron structures\, scattering techniques and well-diffracting c
 rystals.\n\nWhere: Online\, a zoom link will be provided just before the e
 vent\nWhen: May 25-26 (noon-to-noon) CET \nAbstract submission deadline:
