Although integral membrane proteins represent up to one third of all eukaryotic and bacterial proteins, elucidation of their three-dimensional structure is slow compared to that of soluble targets. The application of structural proteomics strategies has become a new route for the structure determination of membrane proteins. This workshop will bring together experts in membrane proteins and structural genomics to explore the perspectives and the current methodologies of these strategies on the structure determination of membrane proteins. The meeting will be of medium size with about 60 participants, intending to create an intensive atmosphere for scientific discussion and exchange. In addition to invited lectures there will be contributed poster presentations.

The International Workshop will take place at the conference centre "Schloß Rauischholzhausen". The castle was constructed between 1871 and 1878 and is surrounded by an English-style park. More information on the history of the castle can be found here.

"Schloß Rauischholzhausen" is located near Marburg. The conference site can be reached by car via A45 or A5 to Gießen. It can also be reached via the international airport at Frankfurt followed by a short train ride to Marburg. There is a bus service to Rauischholzhausen leaving from Marburg central railway station five times a day.

For detailed information in German, please see: Anreise nach Rauischholzhausen mit dem Auto oder mit der Bahn

How to get from FRANKFURT AIRPORT to SCHLOSS RAUISCHHOLZHAUSEN
(via Frankfurt Central Station and Marburg Central Station)

1. At the AIRPORT, follow the signs to the train station in terminal 1 (‘Regionalbahnhof’)

• You can buy tickets to Marburg via Frankfurt at the ‘Reisezentrum’ or you can use the electronic vending machines located within the ticket center. The ‘Reisezentrum’ is located in Terminal 1, Area B, Level 0 and within the AIRail Terminal on level 3.
• The price for a one-way ticket is approx. € 20.
• Take a local train (S8 or S9 in the direction of “Frankfurt Hbf”, “Offenbach Ost” or “Hanau”) and get off at Frankfurt central train station (‘Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof’).

2. At FRANKFURT HAUPTBAHNHOF:

• Follow the signs to the train platforms (approx. 7min walk to ‘Fernzüge’).
• Trains from Frankfurt to Marburg depart once or twice per hour. The journey takes approx. 60-80 minutes depending on the type of train (‘IC’ or ‘RE’).
• Use of  the IC trains requires a supplement (‘IC-Zuschlag’)

3. At MARBURG HAUPTBAHNHOF:

• Transportation from Marburg train station to Schloss Rauischholzhausen will be provided to participants arriving before the first session. Details will be provided as soon as we have all arrival information available.
