The American Crystallographic Association (ACA) will hold its annual meeting next month in Coving-ton, Kentucky, which is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. The meeting will take place Saturday, 26 July through Thursday, 31 July, at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.
Sessions at this meeting will cover a wide range of topics, among them incommensurate structures, membrane proteins, dynamics of macromolecules, structural science in chemical crystallography, and new and high-resolution macromolecular structures. Other subjects include high-energy materials, small-angle scattering instrumentation, laboratory practices in service crystallography, hard and soft materials, genomics and crystal growth solutions and techniques, nucleation processes, and grant writing and interviewing skills.
The technical sessions are organized by ACA’s 10 special interest groups: biological macromolecules, fiber diffraction, general interest, materials science, neutron scattering, service crystallography, small-angle scattering, small molecules, synchrotron radiation, and young scientists. An 11th special interest group—powder diffraction—will assemble for the first time at this...
