Room-temperature (RT) data collection in macromolecular crystallography (MX) is gaining renewed momentum because it provides structural information under near-physiological conditions. Compared with cryogenic data collection, RT methods can reveal functionally relevant conformational states, dynamics, and transient structural changes in a time-resolved manner, while also benefiting structure-based drug design through the identification of hidden or rare binding states. RT collection also avoids the potential artefacts introduced by cryoprotectants and cryocooling.
This in-person 3-day workshop will cover the different practical and theoretical aspects of room temperature data collection and structure determination on the first day, followed by practicals at the beamlines and data processing on the following days.
