http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/events/fragment-screening/index_de.html

The workshop will take place on Dec 03, from 9 am to 6 pm. Registration
is required but free of charge. However, due to space constraints, we have
to limit the number of participants. So register quickly to reserve your place.

Many workshop participants may also want to consider attending the
HZB User Meeting. The Science day will take place on Dec 04, followed
by the typical and popular Berliner Dinner and the X-ray Day will take
place on Dec 05. For more information on the user meeting, including
poster submission please visit:

http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/user/usermeetings/user-meeting-2014/index_en.html

[ccp4bb] New xds-gui XDSAPP V1.0 update release

[Müller , Uwe]

we would hereby like to announce the update release of the XDS-GUI XDSAPP V1.0. 
This version presents a major update of the current XDSAPP software (Krug et 
al., 2012). XDSAPP is an expert system for the interactive and fully automatic 
data processing using XDS (Kabsch et al., 2010).

The following new features have been integrated within this software:
- New graphical user interface using Python2.6 or higher  Qt4.
- Introduction of semi-automatic data processing by re-shaping the 
workflow in a modular way
- Separation of data processing and intensity analysis to avoid 
repeated recalculations during step-by-step processing.
- Simple reloading of summary files for already processed data sets. 
These values can even be used as a starting point for further processing.
- The new button Default parameters in the Settings tab allows the 
internal deletion of parameters in case a new processing with different 
parameters is needed.
- Fully automatic command line based data processing mode

XDSAPP has been tested on the following operating systems:
- Scientific Linux 6.3
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- openSUSE 13.1
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 for Mac

The software is free of charge for academic users and can be downloaded here:
http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/bessy-mx

crystallography at BESSY II, one of the world’s most modern synchrotron 
radiation sources for VUV and soft X-rays.

The Institute of Biology of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is seeking a

Post Doctoral Research Assistant

to conduct research on enzymes involved in the energy metabolism at the 
Laboratory for Structural Biology / Biochemistry (headed by Prof. Dr. Holger 
Dobbek) of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The successful candidate will 
also be involved in the operation of the BESSY II bio-macromolecular 
crystallography beamlines (headed by Dr. Uwe Müller  Dr. Manfred Weiss) and 
will take part in graduate student education.
Initially, a three-year contract will be offered to the successful candidate 
with the possibility for an extension. The salary will be based on German 
Federal TVöD (i.d.F.d. Anw.-TV HUB). The position is available immediately and 
applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in the biological, chemical or physical sciences 
and have a background in bio-macromolecular crystallography, biochemistry or 
computational chemistry. The position also requires the documented ability to 
conduct independent research as well as excellent communication and 
interpersonal skills.

Please send your application (CV, list of publications, 2 referees, .pdf-file 
format) in electronic form until July 12, 2013, with the Code DR/075/13  to:

[ccp4bb] Beamline scientist position at the HZB BESSY II MX-beamlines (application reference: F 2012/18), deadline 18.11. 2012

[Müller , Uwe]

The HZB MX-team is seeking a beamline scientist to support the operations of 
the three MX-beamlines at BESSY-II. The initial contract will run over a period 
of three years. Payment will be on the basis of germans TVöD-Bund salary scheme.
HZB-MX is offering state-of-the-art MX-beamlines to the international user 
community and is actively developing the experimental capabilities of these 
stations. This includes the development of long wavelength phasing methods, the 
in situ crystal screening using the automation platform CATS, controlled 
crystal dehydration by the HC1c device and the utilization of the Pilatus 6M 
detector, which will soon be installed at BL14.1.
The successful candidate shall have a PhD in physics, biochemistry or chemistry 
and shall possess practical experiences in the field of X-ray crystallography, 
preferentially using synchrotron radiation. Furthermore proven experiences in 
software development i.e. using Python or other modern languages are a clear 
advantage.
HZB is encouraging the application of female scientists. Handicapped applicants 
with a comparable qualification are preferred.

Applications including a CV, list of publications and contact information of 
two referees shall be sent until 18.11. 2012 electronically and as a single 
pdf-file stating the application reference: “F 2012/18” within the email header

[ccp4bb] XDSAPP - A new GUI for data processing using XDS

[Müller , Uwe]

Dear CCP4BB users,

we would hereby like to introduce XDSAPP, a GUI for the easy and
convenient processing of diffraction data sets using XDS (see also
Krug et al. (2012). J. Appl. Cryst. 45, 568-572).

XDSAPP automates the data processing, generates plots of various
data set statistics and produces intensity files suitable for further
analysis using CCP4, SHELX and CNS.

XDSAPP has the following features:
  - detector support for Rayonics MX-225, MARCCD-165 mm, PILATUS 6M  and ADSC 
Quantum Q315r
  -  Successfully tested on various Linux platforms
  - Full XDS-multiprocessor support
  -  Space group determination using pointless
  -  Twinning and pseudo-translation analysis using phenix.xtriage and sfcheck  
(CCP4 and PHENIX programs must be installed separately)
  -  Life graphics during Integration
  -  Graphical output of statistics of CORRECT and XDSSTAT (XDSSTAT must be 
installed separately)
  -   All XDS output files (.pck, .cbf, .LP) available for viewing within the 
GUI
  -   Automatic multi-crystal processing
  -  Output files in mtz, hkl and cv format

XDSAPP is freely available for academics.

More information on XDSAPP including download instructions can be found at:
