EmpaDec2008Exploring Modular Protein ArchitectureWednesday December 3rd - Friday December 5th, 2008, EMBL HeidelbergAims to introduce experimental scientists to computational tools that help identify architecture modules (domains, motifs, disordered regions) in eukaryotic protein sequences. These tools can provide valuable insights into potential structure/function relationships that may provide a basis for novel experiments. Contact Aidan Budd (budd@embl.de) or Toby Gibson (gibson@embl.de) for more information. SchedulePresentations will be available from here once we receive them all from the teachers.
