[ccp4bb] cryo-electron tomography experiments at the ESRF CM01 cryo-EM facility

2023-06-08 Thread David FLOT


Dear Colleagues,

the ESRF, Grenoble is opening a new cryo EM service to include 
cryo-electron tomography experiments at its cryo-EM facility, CM01.


In CM01, both cellular and macromolecular cryo-electron tomography will 
be performed for users’ samples. Applications can be made through the 
ESRF User Portal (SMIS) <https://smis.esrf.fr>. The type of proposal is 
a structural biology rolling-access application 
<https://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/UserGuide/Applying/ProposalGuidelines/MXRollingCryoEM#>, 
which can be submitted at any time during the year. For accepted 
proposals from ESRF member and associate countries 
<https://www.esrf.fr/about/organisation/members-and-associates>, 48hours 
of beam time is allotted and travel expenses will be reimbursed for a 
maximum of two visitors per experiment or one dewar and one visitor. The 
microscope time is free for non-member nations, but users are 
responsible for their own shipping and travel costs.


For cellular cryo-ET, currently only BSL1 samples under French 
Regulations and inactivated BSL2 samples are accepted.


For more details on this service and sample requirements for proposal 
acceptance, please see 
(https://www.esrf.fr/home/UsersAndScience/Experiments/MX/About_our_beamlines/CM01/cryo-electron-tomography.html).

Dear Colleagues,

I'd like to draw your attention to a job opening for a *post-doctoral 
research fellow in the cryo-EM facility of the European Synchrotron, 
ESRF, France*


CM01 is the ESRF’s cryo-EM facility dedicated to performing 
high-resolution imaging of biological macromolecules, particularly for 
the structural analysis of large, difficult to crystallize, 
protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid complexes. CM01 has been 
designed to complement, and create synergy with, the existing ESRF 
macromolecular crystallography and BioSAXS beamlines and it is operated 
as a joint effort from the four institutes (ESRF, EMBL, IBS and ILL) 
located on the EPN campus. CM01 is equipped with a Krios G3 microscope 
and state-of-the-art K3 direct electron detector and a GATAN LS Quantum 
energy filter. CM01 offers single particle analysis (SPA) to users 
worldwide, and in the near future cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) as 
well. For more details on CM01, click here .


The postdoctoral position available will focus on the method development 
in areas important for CM01 notably in SPA data analysis and cryo-ET. As 
for all postdoctoral researchers in the Structural Biology Group, the 
successful candidate will contribute to the operation of CM01 and will 
provide support to external users as local contact. Furthermore, the 
selected candidate will also participate in a research program aimed at 
the structural characterization of the non-structural proteins of 
coronavirus and in particular of SARS-CoV2. The research project focuses 
on the molecular mechanisms of three non-structural proteins in viral 
replication by employing an integrative structural biology approach, 
including cryo-ET and SPA.


For direct inquiries, please contact Eaazhisai Kandiah 
(eaazhisai.kand...@esrf.fr).


*Expected profile*

 * PhD in biophysics, biology or closely related science obtained less
   than 3 years ago
 * A strong background in cryo-EM
 * A strong interest in method development for cryo-EM
 * Background in structural biology and protein production is desirable
 * Knowledge of membrane proteins is an asset
 * Ability to interact with multi-disciplinary staff and facility users

Re: [ccp4bb] Room temperature data collection

2014-02-06 Thread David Flot


Dear Therese,

Yes, it is possible. If you want to collect data without cryo device on 
an ESRF beam line (ID23 or ID29, all equipped with PILATUS now), you 
need to remove 3 screws to remove the cryo device... We have as well 2 
HC1 dehumidifiers which can be used on BM14 (which is equiped with a REX 
nozzle changer from ARINAX), ID23-1, ID23-2 or ID29 on request. Data 
from crystal in capillaries can be collected without major problem too 
if the capillary is not too long (distance between the end of the 
capillary and the bottom of the cap less than ~27 mm) and the distance 
between the crystal and the end of the capillary is short ; for long 
capillaries we have a special setup which will require to realign the 
beam stop.


Sincerely,

David.

2012-08-30 Thread David Flot

*CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR ESRF BEAM TIME WITH ONLINE MICROSPEC*Proposal
Deadline *4th September 2012*

There will be beam time available at the ESRF for MX data collection
with a setup that allows online monitoring of UV/VIS absorbance or
fluorescence spectral changes of the crystal during the X-ray
diffraction experiment. These complementary techniques will aid in the
interpretation of X-ray data in the context of reaction intermediate
state trapping and/or radiation damage monitoring, most particularly in
the case of redox or photoactive proteins.

Users who are interested in using this beam time (including those who
are members of BAG Groups) should use the
following mechanism:_http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/UserGuide/Applying/ProposalGuidelines/MXnon-BAGproposal
_and *it must be clearly indicated in the title of the proposal form
that the online monitoring of spectral changes is necessary for the
project*.A brief description of the device is given below however users
are encouraged to consult the web pages for detailed
information:_http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/Experiments/MX/How_to_use_our_beamlines/Run_Your_Experiment/Microspectrophotometer_User_Guide_The
device is also described in: McGeehan, J., Ravelli, R.B., Murray, J.W.,
Owen, R.L., Cipriani, F., McSweeney, S., Weik, M. and Garman,
E.F. (2009) Colouring cryo-cooled crystals: online
microspectrophotometry. /J.Synchrotron Radiat./ *16*, 163-172.

As this is not a standard set-up, it might take a significant amount
of time to train users, align the device, and analyze the data in order
to derive relevant data collection schemes. *We will therefore schedule
24 hours for each project*. The *deadline *for this specific application
is *Tuesday 4th September 2012*.

It is strongly recommended to, beforehand, record an
absorption (fluorescence) spectrum of the crystal on a home
microspectrophotometer such as the 4dx one, or at an off-line facility
such as the ESRF Cryobench, and to provide it in the application form.
Such a spectrum would greatly help to determine the feasibility of the
experiment. For optimal experimental conditions, crystals should be
flash-cooled in minimal amounts of cryosolution, especially when the
crystals are small. Finally, please note that *the ESRF sample changer
cannot be operated at the same time as the on-line microspec*. The use
of a specific laser is possible if the device is compliant with the beam
line safety system (interlock on device power).

(2009) Colouring cryo-cooled crystals: online microspectrophotometry. J
Synchrotron Radiat., 16, 163-172.

As this is not a standard set-up, it might take a significant amount of
time to train users, align the device, and analyze the data in order to
derive relevant data collection schemes. *We will therefore schedule 24
hours for each project*. The *deadline *for this specific application is
*Friday 21st October 2011*.

It is strongly recommended to, beforehand, record an absorption
(fluorescence) spectrum of the crystal on a home microspectrophotometer
such as the 4dx one, or at an off-line facility such as the ESRF
Cryobench, and to provide it in the application form. Such a spectrum
would greatly help to determine the feasibility of the experiment. For
optimal experimental conditions, crystals should be frozen in minimal
amounts of cryosolution, especially when the crystals are small.
Finally, please note that *the ESRF sample changer cannot be operated at
the same time as the on-line microspec*.
The use of specific LASER is possible if the device is compliant with
the beam line safety system (interlock on device power).

Dates of beam-time: *30th November - 4th December 2011*
Storage Ring: 7/8 + 1 (200mA)
Beamline: ID14-1
Energy: 13.27 keV (not tunable)
