4th UVM Practical Course on Three-dimensional Cryo Electron Microscopy of Single Particles

August 2-9 2009, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT

This international course will teach the principles of three-dimensional reconstruction of single particles from cryo electron micrographs. The course will include in-depth lectures of the basic theoretical principles of single particle analysis, discussions and demonstrations of experimental procedures, and six hours per day of hands-on processing of data sets from electron micrographs of single particles.

Participants will work in groups of two. Each group will have one instructor,who will provide step-by-step guidance through the complete three-dimensional reconstruction process and offer additional explanations and support. The course aims to provide participants with a strong practical and theoretical background that will enable them later to use these techniques in their home laboratory.
