Dear PX student/participant

I would like to give you a warm welcome to PX98 (also PX98/99 or PX98-99), which has now started. I hope that the course will meet your needs and that you will enjoy yourself.

Over the next two weeks we shall be giving you time to familiarize yourself with your equipment and the learning methods as used in PX by giving an introduction to bioinformatics. We also give you an overview of protein crystallography in terms of flowcharts. Professor David Moss will arrange time(s) for an introductory BioMoo session. Please note that all times that we give will be GMT. Please check the notice board for details.
