Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2012
***** DEADLINE 31/01/2012 24:00 CET ***** EMBL Hamburg, Germany We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological small-angle scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular crystallography (MX). Beam-time will be available at the DORIS and PETRA storage rings from March 2012 to February 2013. On the DORIS storage ring, EMBL Hamburg will operate beamlines in SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and MX (responsible scientist Victor Lamzin). On the PETRA storage ring, we will operate one beamline for biological SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and one beamline for MX (responsible scientist Thomas Schneider). Electronic beam proposal forms and a detailed description of the beamlines are available at http://www.embl-hamburg.de/ (click on 'Access to Infrastructures'). The deadline for submission of proposals is January, 31st, 2012. An external Project Evaluation Committee will assess the proposals. Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities will in part be supported by the European Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7 project BioStruct-X (http://www.biostruct-x.eu/). A new visitor program for high-throughput crystallization, sample preparation, characterization and SAXS is now supported by P-CUBE (http://www.p-cube.eu/) for external users.
