                COMPUTATIONAL X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
                     Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
                            July 24-27, 1994
 Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is offering biomedical researchers a
 computational X-ray crystallography workshop. The objective of this workshop
 is to introduce participants to the theoretical  and computational analysis
 of X-ray crystallography data of both small  molecules and macromolecules.
 Topics will include:  the theoretical basis for the minimal function,
 simulated annealing, molecular replacement, phasing and density modification.
 The programs SnB, based on Shake and Bake, and X-PLOR will be extensively
 discussed.  Hands-on sessions will be emphasized.  Participants will
 be able to work on the examples provided during the hands-on sessions,
 or on their own experimental data.
 No prior supercomputing experience is necessary.
 Workshop leaders are: Dr. Axel Brunger, Yale University,
 Dr. Herbert Hauptman, Medical Foundation of Buffalo, Inc.  and
 Dr. Russ Miller,  State University of New York at Buffalo.
 This workshop is funded by a grant from the Biomedical Research Technology
 Program, National Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of
 Health.  Travel, meals and hotel accommodations for academic participants
 are supported by this grant. Enrollment is limited to 20.
 Deadline for applications is: May 24, 1994.
