    The next BCA Biological Structures Group Meeting will be part of the BCA Spring Meeting at the University of Reading on 8th and 9th April 2001. See this link . The sessions will be called "How MAD can you get?", "Stretching the limits- proteins at atomic resolution" and " Hot Structures". The Bragg Lecture will be given by Prof David Stuart.
