Bio-Crystallography highlights in France, Germany and Switzerland

In the context of the International Year of Crystallography and the Upper Rhine valley Regio Meeting (www.regiomeeting.eu), a symposium will take place  from noon, September 23 till noon, September 24, at Mont St. Odile, Alsace, France, before the Regio Meeting and at the same place.
Six renowned structural biologists, two per country, have accepted to present their latest achievements and to give an overview of on-going developments in the field of biocrystallography:

• Elena Conti, Department of Structural Cell Biology, Max-Planck Institute, Martinsried
  Structural insights into the mechanisms of RNA degradation
• Nenad Ban, Institute of Molecular Biology & Biophysics, ETH, Zürich 
  Beyond the prokaryotic ribosome
• Marc Delarue, Department of Structural Biology and Chemistry, Institut Pasteur, Paris
  Structural studies of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels
• Christoph Müller, Department of Structural and Computational Biology, EMBL, Heidelberg
  Structure-function studies of RNA polymerase I and III transcription
• Felix Rey, Structural Virology Unit, Institut Pasteur, Paris
  The first X-ray structure of a cell-cell fusion protein reveals homology
  to viral membrane fusion proteins, in spite of a different fusogenic mechanism
• Tilman Schirmer, Department of Structural Biology & Biophysics, Biozentrum, Basel
  Mechanisms to regulate the cellular concentration of the bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP
