Dear All,
Please consider attending the IUCR Workshop on Updating Publication Standards
for NMR Structures being held on July 21, 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The
goals and agenda for the workshop are described below. This will be a useful
forum for discussions on best practices for reporting biological macromolecular
structures determined using NMR spectroscopy in the literature and to the public
databases.
Sincerely,
Eldon Ulrich
-------------
The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) is sponsoring a workshop on
updating publication standards for NMR structures July 21 in Salt Lake City UT,
the day before the 2007 American Crystallographic Association (ACA) meeting.
The workshop is organized by Mitchell Guss, Manfred Weiss and Howard Einspahr,
IUCr Journal Editors, with the help of Guy Montelione, John Markley, Eldon
Ulrich, Luciano Mueller and others. Acta Cryst. F, an electronic IUCr Journal,
published an NMR structure paper in 2006 and was advised at the time by NMR
referees that the 1998 IUPAC standards used as basis for review were in need of
update. As it turns out, the workshop dovetails nicely with NMR community
efforts on standards and a Task Force under the aegis of BMRB and RCSB, which
will launch their work in the coming months. Several members of the Task Force
including its chair, Rob Kaptein, will make presentations at the workshop and it
will thus serve as a preliminary to the Task Force’s deliberations. After a
morning of presentations and lunch, the workshop will hold a series of breakout
sessions to draft the updates that are surfaced and review those in a final
joint session at the end of the day. This is a chance for early input into the
evolution of new standards for publication of NMR structures.
Please consider this note a personal invitation to join us and participate
in this important conference. Registration for the workshop is $75 for students
and postdoctoral fellows, $125 for all others. For further details, see the web
pages at http://www.biochem.utah.edu/aca2007/index.html, which provides a
registration form PDF under the appropriate tab. Registration for the ACA
meeting itself is NOT required.
