The Center for Biocrystallographic Research in Poznan, which is affiliated with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, was opened in June 1994. It is the first protein crystallography laboratory in Poland and the second in central-Eastern Europe. It was created through a joint initiative of the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (the "bio" part) and the Department of Crystallography, A. Mickiewicz University, Poznan (the "crystallography" part) and was funded by the Foundation for Polish Science.

Our center is fully equipped with modern facilities for crystallization, X-ray data collection and processing, and has excellent computer facilities networked to the new Poznan Metropolitan Supercomputer Center. Our mission is to be a center of integration for the Polish and central-European structural biology community.

Principles of Protein Structure

We are the Central European mirror site of the Internet course in Principles of Protein Structure, run from Birkbeck College, London

Information about the current course, future opportunities and possible help with funding, especially for potential students from east-central Europe, is also available here.

Note: The course material is now password-protected. You can still, however, review an old edition of the course.
