We would like to draw your attention to these new textbooks in Slovakian language “Proteíny. Štruktúra a funkcia (1. diel)” and “Proteíny. Štruktúra a funkcia (2. diel)” related to structural biology and available from the publisher (Comenius University Bratislava).

8th Structural Biology Club of the Czech Society for Structural Biology online on 27 April 2022, 1 pm with the following scientific talks kindly delivered by our guests.

Mechanistic insights into 14‐3‐3‐mediated DAPK2 inhibition
Presented by Tomáš Obšil, Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University

Semaphorins and plexins – orchestrating signalling in time and space
Presented by Daniel Rozbeský, Department of Cell Biology, Faculty of Science, Charles University

Moderator: Jiří Pavlíček, Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences

We thank all the contributors for taking part in the Conference. 140 participants enjoyed the scientific programme consisting of 43 talks, 9 flash talks and 46 posters. We were glad to reconnect with old friends and find new ones, also during the evening (and nights…). You can return to the Conference moments with the photos.

Congratulations to the winners of the Student competition:
Talks: Ladislav Bartoš, Markéta Šoltysová, Zuzana Trebichalská
Posters: Stefana Njemoga, Pavel Pohl, Lucie Valentová
Check details at the Conference page.

We thank our sponsors to support the event.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the next conference – or even earlier at the Structural Biology Club.

Make sure you arrive with sufficient time left before the start of the program, as some of you have accommodation in a certain distance from the Conference venue.

For the main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) we must split into two groups. Your name tag will have a mark (a sticker or similar) which means that you dine downstairs in the restaurant of the Castle. No sticker – you dine on the main floor.

Currently, no Covid-related restrictions or measures are in place for the Conference.

We ask speakers to copy their presentation on the conference room computer well BEFORE the session and the chair persons to help speakers test their presentations. There will be strict timing of the lectures, unless marked otherwise in the program, you have 15 minutes to speak and 5 minutes for discussion.

The poster session in the Blue saloon (just in front of the entrance) will be held on Friday evening. The posters should be put up after Friday lunch and taken down after the poster session or on Saturday morning. Some poster boards will use pins, some glue tag (zvykacka), these will be provided.

The XVIII Discussions in Structural Molecular Biology and the 5th User Meeting of CIISB will be held in the cozy environment of the castle Zámek in Nové Hrady, South Bohemia, 24 – 26 March 2022. We are planning a full conference with on-site presence.

Details and registration are available via the Conference page.
