The American Crystallographic Association (ACA) will hold its annual meeting from Saturday, 25 May, to Thursday, 30 May, in San Antonio, Texas. This year’s meeting is being held in conjunction with the American Association for Crystal Growth (AACG).
Lectures, symposia, poster presentations, and social events will take place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The 10 ACA special interest groups—biological macromolecules, fiber diffraction, materials science, neutron scattering, small-angle scattering, small molecules, synchrotron radiation, service crystallography, general-interest crystallography, and young scientists—have organized most of the extensive program of invited and contributed sessions.
The technical sessions will cover a range of topics that are of interest to crystallographers, including crystal engineering, macromolecular crystallography, structural genomics, protein folding and design, the use of crystallography in drug design, macromolecular motions and dynamic processes, enzyme mechanisms, new structures, cool structures, the connections between structures and materials science, and the effects of scattering on nanoscience...
