Workshop on Emerging Areas in Biological Crystallography

July 27-28, 2004, APS, Argonne, Illinois

Objective

  1. Explore new and emerging areas defined in the scope of this workshop.
  2. Broaden the community interaction by including researchers from various methodologies for biological crystallography (E.g., EM, NMR, Raman, X- ray,etc.)
  3. Identify new scientific proposals/programs specific to the emerging areas in biological crystallography which the participants will bring to the APS during next 5 to 10 years. Also evaluate the capital and operational requirements for these proposals/programs to be successful
  4. In addition to available beamline capabilities at the APS, identify future needs to support research in emerging areas
  5. Address the need and support for theoretical work to strengthen the experimental research.
  6. Prepare a summary document for the archival literature to serve as a roadmap for the future of the emerging areas in biological crystallography and suggest the role of the Advanced Photon Source towards this objective.
