15th Annual BioSAXS Workshop August 14th

ALS-ENABLE SAXS beamline 12.3.1 is holding a BioSAXS workshop on August 14th as part of the ALS User Meeting (Aug 12-14). The workshop is designed for both experienced and new to SAXS users. During the morning session, the latest advances in SAXS studies on biological systems will be discussed with particular focus on advances in our mail-in SAXS program and on advances in synchrotron scattering techniques, modeling of dynamic and flexible structures, BioSAXS with membrane protein, and integrating BioSAXS analysis within cryo-EM imaging and crystallography. SIBYLS’s SAXS beamline scientists will introduce the future of high-throughput and size-exclusion-coupled SAXS. We will present talks about integrating high-resolution models in the SAXS modeling. The afternoon session will be spent on hands-on tutorials with our beamline scientists. Our beamline scientists will demonstrate step-by-step SAXS analysis using the latest SAXS analysis software. Participants will have the opportunity to work on their own projects with the SIBYLS staff and SAXS experts. Interested users can present their case studies to the group. This will provide for a flux of ideas among workshop participants and inspire new perspectives for future data analysis.
