RapiData 2023 at SSRL is a practical course in macromolecular X-ray diffraction data collection, data processing and structure solution. The aim of the RapiData course is to educate and train young scientists in data collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using state-of-the-art software and instrumentation.

The course will comprise hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on the following topics:

• Specimen preparation, tactics in data collection
• X-ray light sources
• X-ray detectors
• Data reduction
• Structure solving by MAD, SAD and Molecular replacement
• Complementary methods (spectroscopy and small angle scattering)

This 1-week course is focused on the theory and practice of cryo-ET methods. We will step through each stage of the cryo-ET workflow (specimen preparation, correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), cryo-ET data acquisition, and computational processing). The mornings will include lectures and stimulating round table discussions. The afternoons focus on hands-on practicals to reinforce the concepts and topics covered earlier in the day. Users are welcome to bring their own samples and/or data.

When: Friday, September 23, 2022 2:00 PM-3:00 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada).

Program Description:
By blocking the central part of the objective lens in optical microscopy, we may improve resolution and contrast dramatically. This is a new type of telecentric optics based on central obscuration. This idea is a revival of old precession method in X-ray crystallography, which was developed by Martin J. Buerger at the beginning of the 1940's as a very clever alternative to collect Bragg diffractions without distorting the geometry of the reciprocal planes. In the EUV lithography, by introducing (precession method) rotating mirror and center obscured hollow mirror, we may go beyond 10 nm rule. In Cryo-EM, by precessing electron beam, we may directly observe molecule array in protein crystals, which provide powerful tool for protein analysis and drug discovery.

This workshop will be held at the MicroED Imaging Center at UCLA and will contain both lectures and hands on demonstrations and training. It is open to both academia and industry. The cost for academic attendees is $500. The cost for attendees outside academia is $1,500.
 

Topics covered

• Sample preparation methodologies for proteins and small molecules
• MicroED data collection
• Camera performance
• Cryo-FIB-milling procedures for MicroED
• Data analysis software, structure solution, and refinement

Combing precise chemical information from mass spectrometry (MS) with high resolution imaging methods like electron microscopy (cryoEM, TEM) or scanning probe microscopy (AFM, STM) pushes the frontiers and scope of chemical and structural analysis to atomic resolution of individual complex molecules. Â

This workshop meeting brings together an emerging community of scientists from analytical, preparative, and native mass spectrometry, molecular electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy to explore the possibilities and challenges of the novel approaches at the frontier of native mass spectrometry and single molecule imaging.

The conference handle, MS+M_22, stands for Mass Spectrometry plus Microscopy, expressing the vision that this sum is greater that its parts.
