The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS)<\/a> of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM)<\/a> will host the third Workshop SMX – MX at Sirius for Fragment Screening<\/strong>. This two-day workshop will be held on November 4 and 5, 2024<\/strong>, as one of the satellite events of the 34th LNLS Annual Users Meeting<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This workshop aims to bring together the LNLS community \u2013 external users, including students, researchers, and professionals \u2013 and experts working in the fields of structural biology, protein crystallography, and drug discovery, to disseminate the use of fragment screening and its implementation at the Manac\u00e1 beamline of the Sirius synchrotron.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first edition of SMX was held in November 2018, as one of the satellite workshops of the 28th RAU, focusing on the status and potentialities of the Manac\u00e1 beamline, which was still under construction at the time. In this edition, with the Manac\u00e1 beamline now in operation, the workshop aims to present the state-of-the-art in fragment screening using crystallography and its importance for drug discovery and the characterization of allosteric binding sites. National and international speakers will present the basic, practical aspects, and the status of fragment screening experiments in several open facilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage participation in the workshop and RAU, but if you are only registering for this workshop and are interested in presenting your results, you can send the title and abstract to the following email:\u00a0andrey.nascimento@lnls.br<\/a>. The abstract must be sent in .pdf format following the same guidelines as RAU (2000 characters with spaces), https:\/\/pages.cnpem.br\/rau\/34th-rau\/registration\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Attention:
\n<\/strong>The deadline for abstract submission to the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0SMX satellite workshop is 23rd<\/sup> September<\/span>.*<\/b><\/p>\n

The selected abstracts may receive a travel grant. We will contact the authors after the deadline. If you have any question do not hesitate to contact us (above email).<\/p>\n

* <\/strong>This deadline is exclusive to the SMX Workshop. Submissions for the other workshops follow the schedule available under “important dates”.<\/h6>\n
