DESCRIPTION:The tools of structural biology have become more powerful duri
 ng the last 60 years. The first protein structure\, that of sperm whale my
 oglobin\, was solved in 1960 using X-ray crystallography\, a method that h
 as grown to produce over 10\,000 structures per year\, all of them being d
 eposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).  In recent years\, electron cryom
 icroscopy (cryoEM) of single particles plunge-frozen in a thin film of amo
 rphous ice\, has developed rapidly in power and resolution\, so that well 
 over 3\,000 PDB depositions will be made this year for structures solved b
 y cryoEM.  Many of these cryoEM structures represent unstable or flexible 
 assemblies whose structure cannot be determined by any other method\, and 
 almost all of them involve images collected on 300 keV state-of-the-art tr
 ansmission electron cryo-microscopes. \n\nEntry for talks is £3 for non-m
