Abstract

The first Federation of European Biochemical Societies Advanced Course on macromolecular crystallization was launched in the Czech Republic in October 2004. Over the past two decades, the course has developed into a distinguished event, attracting students, early career postdoctoral researchers and lecturers. The course topics include protein purification, characterization and crystallization, covering the latest advances in the field of structural biology. The many hands-on practical exercises enable a close interaction between students and teachers and offer the opportunity for students to crystallize their own proteins. The course has a broad and lasting impact on the scientific community as participants return to their home laboratories and act as nuclei by communicating and implementing their newly acquired knowledge and skills.

大分子结晶高级方法实践课程：20 年的历史与未来展望。

2004 年 10 月，第一届欧洲生化学会联合会高分子结晶高级课程在捷克共和国启动。在过去的二十年里，该课程已发展成为一项杰出的活动，吸引了众多学生、早期博士后研究人员和讲师参加。课程主题包括蛋白质纯化、表征和结晶，涵盖了结构生物学领域的最新进展。许多动手实践练习使学生和教师之间能够密切互动，并为学生提供了自己结晶蛋白质的机会。该课程对科学界产生了广泛而持久的影响，学员们回到各自的实验室后，通过交流和实施新获得的知识和技能，发挥了核心作用。

期刊介绍： Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
