Join us for a workshop on visualizing biological complexes in research labs. Explore current technologies, define future needs, and discuss challenges and solutions in sharing 3-D structures. Topics include structural features extraction, modeling macromolecular assemblies, quantitative visualization, and alternative representations.

Few Logistics • Meals • Room Charge • Travel reimbursement • Wireless Connection
Summary • Problems in annotating complexes in PDB • New user interface for visualization to make visualization for “dummy” • New algorithms for quantitative visualization and representation • Cryo-EM (4-20 A) structures are expanding and need institutionalized archiving • Modeling tools are maturing to provide informative models for biologists • Continue an annual meeting and periodic video conferencing • Organize a special issue of papers in a journal
