We warmly invite you all to attend "2008 Workshop of ERATO Iwata Human Receptor Crystallography Project in Japan" on Friday, May 9, 2008. Chris Tate of MRC Cambridge will give a presentation on Beta 1 Adrenergic Receptor, a GPCR, as a guest speaker.
| 10:00-10:10 | So Iwata (Research Director, ERATO HRC Project) | Development and Future Plan of Iwata Human Receptor Crystallography Project |
| 10:10-10:50 | Chris Tate (Molecular Biology, MRC Cambridge, UK) | Thermostabilisation and Structure Determination of the Beta 1 Adrenergic Receptor |
| 10:50-11:20 | Takuya Kobayashi (Group Leader, Receptor Preparation Group, ERATO HRC Project) | Towards Structure Determination of Human Membrane Receptors and Production of Functional GPCRs in Pichia pastoris |
| 11:20-11:50 | Takeshi Murata (Group Leader, Crystallization Group, ERATO HRC Project) | Crystallization of Human Receptors |
| 11:50-12:10 | Norimichi Nomura (Group Leader, Crystallizing Ligand Design Group, ERATO HRC Project) | Generating Antibody Fragments for Membrane Protein Crystallization Using Phage Display Selection |
The meeting is held at the same venue as the GPCR Meeting (talks in Japanese).
