NVK Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kristallografie,
Werkgroep Eiwitkristallografie
protein section meeting
The first NVK protein section
meeting will be held on the 13th of June
1997 in the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam. We have been able
to compile an exciting program with both a good number of new methods and
an impressive number of structural results from within our community.
After the scientific program we want to close with a short meeting about
future plans and a "borrel". Afterwards an informal, unsubsidized dinner
is planned in a central Amsterdam restaurant.
The meeting is open for anybody interested. Inquiries can be made with
Titia Sixma
tel (+31)-(0)20-5121959
fax (+31)-(0)20-5121954
e-mail Sixma@nki.nl
The costs are fl 12.50 for the lunch. Opgeven bij
Sixma@nki.nl or Marlijn Sonne at
phone:(+31)-(0)20-5121950/fax:5121954. Those who want to join for
dinner should preferably indicate this.
The NKI can be reached by train from station Lelylaan (15 minutes walk) or
from the Central station (by tram 2,~30 minutes). By car at exit Sloten
from the Amsterdam ring (A10) or the A4.
