The ACA Transactions Symposium will be on using crystallography to understand biological mechanisms, encompassing molecules of all sizes. Two full-day workshops are planned for Saturday, July 22; SHELX for twins and macromolecular structures; QUEST; and one half-day workshop on Making Technical Presentations. Technical sessions will begin on Sunday, July 21, with hot new structures, refinement at ultra-high resolution, battery materials, and advances in small-angle scattering. Sessions continue through Thursday, with cool structures, general interest, new science from neutron sources, protein-nucleic acid interactions, high throughput crystallization, service crystallography at synchrotrons, crystal engineering (dedicated to Peggy Etter), science at long-length scale, nuclear industry materials, problem structure determination and network glasses.
Dr. Purnell W. Choppin, President, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, will be presented with the ACA Public Service Award for 2000. A special session recognizing the activities of the HHMI in biomedical research and crystallography is being planned for Wednesday, July 26.
