*Announcement*

*The 5th U.S.-Canada Winter School on Biomolecular Solid-State NMR*

*Stowe, Vermont, USA*

*January 7-12, 2018*



Organizers: Tatyana Polenova (U. Delaware), Christopher Jaroniec (Ohio
State U.), Mei Hong (MIT) and Bob Griffin (MIT)



Dear Colleagues,



We invite you to encourage your students, postdocs, and senior associates
to attend the 5th Winter School on Biomolecular Solid-State NMR, which will
be held on January 7-12, 2018, in Stowe, Vermont. Similar to the previous
four highly successful Winter Schools, this pedagogical meeting is aimed at
students and postdocs in solid-state NMR as well as more senior scientists
in related fields who are interested in entering this vibrant field. Our
goals are to provide a focused week of teaching of the core concepts and
practices in the increasingly multifaceted and complex field of biological
solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and to encourage information sharing among
different laboratories. Topics to be covered in the 5th Winter School
include:



·      Basics of solid-state NMR: orientation-dependent NMR frequencies,
MAS, tensors and rotations, density operator and its time evolution,
decoupling and recoupling techniques, and average Hamiltonian theory

·      Multidimensional correlation spectroscopy, non-uniform sampling,
techniques for resonance assignment and measurement of structural
restraints in biomolecules

·      Paramagnetic solid-state NMR techniques

·      Techniques for enhancing sensitivity of solid-state NMR: dynamic
nuclear polarization and 1H detection

·      Solid-state NMR techniques for measuring molecular motion

·      Solid-state NMR techniques for structural studies of
oriented membrane proteins

·      Protein structure calculations in XPLOR-NIH

·      Beyond spin 1/2: NMR of quadrupolar nuclei

·      Basics of NMR probe design



In addition to lectures, problem sets and their discussion sessions will be
given at the meeting.



*Speakers*: The following have agreed to serve as lecturers:



Tim Cross (Florida State)

Philip Grandinetti (Ohio State)

Bob Griffin (MIT)

Mei Hong (MIT)

Christopher Jaroniec (Ohio State)

Francesca Marassi (Burnham)

Ann McDermott (Columbia)

Stanley Opella (UC San Diego)

Guido Pintacuda (ENS Lyon)

Tatyana Polenova (Delaware)

Bernd Reif (Tech Univ Munich)

Charles Schwieters (NIH)

Robert Tycko (NIH)

Kurt Zilm (Yale)



*Venue and transportation*: The meeting will be held at the beautiful
and historical *Trapp Family Lodge *http://www.trappfamily.com/ in Stowe,
Vermont. Stowe is accessible from airports in Burlington, VT, Manchester,
NH, and Boston, MA. A block of rooms has been reserved at the lodge. We
anticipate space for ~70 attendees.



*Cost*: Room and board will be free for attendees. The registration fee is
*$500* for academic attendees and *$750* for industrial attendees.



*Application*: Interested students and postdocs should send the following
application materials *as a single PDF file* to:
ASC-WinterSchool2018 at osu.edu. The application materials include: (1) a CV,
(2) publication list, and (3) a 1-page description of your current research
and your statement of interest in attending the Winter School. Please
indicate your gender in the CV for the purpose of hotel room assignment.
Please name this application file as
*AdvisorLastName_YourLastName_WS2018app.pdf. *For example “McDermott_
Smith_WS2018app.pdf”.



*Application deadline: Friday, November 3, 2017**. *Given the limited
number of available spaces, it may not be possible to accommodate
applications received after this date.



Please distribute this announcement to members of your research group as
well as to colleagues who may be interested in attending or sending their
group members.



With kind regards,

Tatyana, Chris, Mei & Bob
