12 Noon – 1:00 PM – Salon B
Presenter: Margaret Gabanyi
The Protein Structure Initiative Structural Genomics Knowledgebase (PSI
SGKB, URL: http://kb.psi-structuralgenomics.org) is a portal designed to connect
protein sequence information with experimental 3D protein structures and
computational models, functional annotations, and available experimental
protocols and materials. This knowledge taken together can enable the biological
community to understand living systems and disease. The Structural Genomics
Knowledgebase, created in collaboration with the NIH/NIGMS Protein Structure
Initiative and the Nature Publishing Group, also provides a research library,
editorials about new research advances, news, and an events calendar to present
a broader view of structural biology and structural genomics. Users can also
subscribe to email or RSS Gateway Update alerts to learn when new editorial
content and protein structures become available. This workshop will show users
how to navigate and search the PSI SGKB. A walkthrough of these features along
with a demonstration of the search capabilities will be provided. The PSI SGKB
is funded by the NIGMS.

12 Noon – 1:00 PM – Salon A
Presenter: David Gregson, Managing Director
DMS measures changes in protein secondary structure
and the formation of non-soluble aggregates by recording circular dichroism and
absorption wavelength-temperature surfaces. Phase transition mid-points and
van't Hoff enthalpies and are calculated by global analysis. A brief description
of the enabling technology and an example of
its use will be presented.

Biophysical
Characterization of Proteins and Macromolecules by Light Scattering and Related
Techniques
The Theory and Practice of Multi-Angle and
Dynamic Light Scattering

12 Noon – 1:00 PM – Salon C/D
Presenter: John Champagne
Objective: To provide a brief introduction to light scattering
theory and an understanding of how multi-angle laser light scattering (MALS) and
on-line quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS) detectors determine absolute molar
mass, size, and conformation of proteins and conjugates in solution. Batch
dynamic light scattering (DLS) will also be explored to measure Dt and Rh and
relative polydispersity of samples with a description of how to also derive the
relative molar mass.
The versatility of these unique instruments and their associated software will be
explored in terms of their use off-line in the batch mode (e.g. working with
microcuvettes, and scintillation vials) and on-line following some for of
fractionation (such as SEC, FPLC RPC, IEC). Some discussion will also focus on
Wyatt’s state-of-the-art Eclipse Asymmetric Field Flow Fractionation system for
separating and characterizing macromolecules, Wyatt’s DynaPro Plate Reader Plus
and the composition gradient Calypso instrument used to measure A2,
DNDC and protein association.
The seminar will also focus on specific Protein Applications
using MALS to measure oligomerization (assembly states), protein-protein
interactions (including thermodynamic non-ideality) and protein crystallography
conditions in solution. Examples of membrane proteins, glycol-proteins,
pegylated proteins and heat shock proteins will be shown.

Characterizing Protein, Macromolecules and Nanoparticles using Various Types of Light Scattering

12 Noon – 1:00 PM – Salon B
Presenter: Ian Herzberg, Ph.D.
Light scattering techniques can be used to characterize fundamental properties of suspended particles and dissolved macromolecules, including size, molecular weight, and charge. The techniques available for these applications include dynamic and static light scattering, and electrophoretic and/or phase analysis light scattering. Several of these techniques can be applied to proteins in batch or chromatographic modes. This workshop will present an introduction to the theoretical basis for these techniques, and include a discussion of practical aspects of their application, citing relevant examples of the use of Brookhaven Instruments' equipment for studies of protein conformation, assembly and aggregation.
