[ccp4bb] Tell the NIH your thoughts on structural genomics and the PSI

[Tom Terwilliger]

Dear colleagues,

The NIH is carrying out an assessment of the Protein Structural 
Initiative (PSI) and is requesting comments from anyone who is 
interested in or affected by the PSI.


This is your chance to tell the NIH your thoughts on structural 
genomics in general and on the US Protein Structure Initiative in 
particular..  Please take advantage of this opportunity  You don't 
have to live in the US to answer the survey. They want to know how 
the PSI affects everyone.


Here are some things to consider when responding:

1. The PSI may affect you directly: (you used technology supported by 
the PSI;  you used a structure solved by the PSI; you collaborated 
with a PSI center)
2. ...or indirectly (your national structural genomics project would 
never have come into being if a worldwide effort including the PSI 
had not begun; you used structural genomics as an argument for 
relevance or utility of your research)


It's easy to participate in the survey: send an email 
to  [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message in response 
listing questions to respond to.  The NIH is accepting comments until 
July 20, 2007


For  accomplishments of PSI-1 (pilot phase, now completed) see: 
http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Initiatives/PSI/Background/PilotFacts.htm
For an update on the PSI as of July, 2007, 
see:  http://www.nigms.nih.gov/News/Reports/psi2_update_052007.htm
For more  information on the assessment  process 
see:  http://www.nigms.nih.gov/About/Council/PSIAssessment/ .


I hope that you will email the NIH today and respond to their survey!

All the best,
Tom T

Re: [ccp4bb] shutter trouble on the MicroMax007HF

[Deena Oren]

Hello all,

First I would like to thank those that responded and let them know 
their input was invaluable.
Secondly, I wanted to let the community know that the problem has been 
successfully resolved by Rigaku/MSC, sincere thanks to Vasili Carperos 
and Hans Mueller. Please make sure upon purchasing a new micromax007HF 
that you receive a shutter board that has 18V instead of 15V on the 
safety device part of the board.


Once again RigakuMSC has come through for us and we are very grateful 
and happy to be up and running in full swing. We have been extremely 
happy with the ability of the setup and the fact that things can be 
done at home that were not doable on the RUH instrument.


Sincerely,

Deena
