This course will provide instruction and hands-on training in protein structures using several public databases and bioinformatics tools freely available on the internet.

Topics include: searching structures in the PDB and their schematic display in PDBSum; exploring the structural classification of proteins in the CATH and SCOP databases; examining the 3-D orientation of catalytic residues using Catalytic Site Atlas; linking functional annotation to structures using ProFunc and InterPro; and investigating domain-domain interactions using iPFAM.

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to apply for travel fellowships available for participants in the 4th ISCB Student Council Symposium at ISMB 2008 in Toronto (Canada).

We are able to provide 7 travel fellowships worth 1000 USD each. http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/travel-fellowships

Please find in the attachement the next summer school IBSS'08 in BioInformatics & system biology.
The final program will be in the web the first may 2008, so If they are any researchers that is interested to participated by a conference or courses please let me know as soon as possible.

Best Regards

Dr Amal Maurady
Chair of IBSS'06
