Dear Colleagues,

This is just a gentle reminder that the deadline for applications
for synchrotron beam time 2009 at the EMBL Hamburg is on January 13.

With best regards,
Victor Lamzin


Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2009
                         EMBL Hamburg, Germany

We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological small-angle scattering (SAXS) and X-ray crystallography (PX). Up to 32 weeks of beam time will be available at the DORIS storage ring (DESY) from March 2009 to February 2010.

EMBL Hamburg will operate the following beamlines:

Beamline          New features                        Scientist responsible

X33        SAXS   Automated and remote operation      Dmitri Svergun
X11        PX     MAR555 Flat Panel detector          Paul Tucker
X12        PX     MAD, S-SAD, fluorescence analysis   Manfred Weiss
X13        PX     Microspec, expert data collection   Matthew Groves
BW7A*      PX     High flux, multilayer optics        Andrea Schmidt
BW7B*      PX     Automated sample changer MARVIN     Santosh Panjikar

*These beamlines are used as Petra-III test facilities and therefore will be only temporarily available.

The deadline for submission of proposals is January 13, 2009.
An external Priorities Committee will assess the proposals.

Electronic beam proposal forms and a detailed description of the beamline facilities are available at www.embl-hamburg.de and www.embl-hamburg.de/facilities

Access to the EMBL Hamburg high-throughput crystallisation facility is available via www.embl-hamburg.de/services/crystallisation

EMBL is constructing three new beamlines for applications in biological X-ray crystallography (PX) and small-angle scattering (SAXS) at the Petra-III synchrotron storage ring, which are scheduled to be available from 2010/11. See www.embl-hamburg.de/services/petra for further information.

For further information tel. +49-40-89902-110, s...@embl-hamburg.de (SAXS)
b...@embl-hamburg.de (PX).

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities will be supported by the European Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7 "ELISA (European Light Sources Activities)".
