Practical sessions at the EMBO course on the “Structural Characterisation of Macromolecular complexes: Modern Techniques and Strategies, Grenoble,  May 3-8, 2004”

For every day except Wednesday 5 different practical sessions have been planned. From Monday to Friday the course participants will be split in 4 groups. On Saturday the course will be split in two groups and we will collect data on two ESRF beam lines following the morning lectures.
