Structural methods in chemistry, biology and medicine.
(Workshop in memory of Prof. Yuri Struchkov)
Chicago, Aug 10-13, 2007.

Objective
The Workshop will focus on the fields of chemistry and chemical biology that utilize X-ray diffraction and molecular modeling to characterize novel materials and establish structure-property relationships in the worlds of small and large molecules. It will highlight the scientific achievements and research of the colleagues who knew and collaborated with Professor Struchkov and continue to use structural methods in their current work. The Workshop will enable the old friends and colleagues to forge new bonds and discover novel grounds for future interactions, idea exchange, and collaborations.
