[ccp4bb] Winter school on soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography

2009-01-09 Thread Uwe Mueller

The registration deadline is approaching at January 15th.
For those of you who are interested within this field, a limited number 
of additional participants can still be accepted at this venue.


Here are some details:

Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography, February 
18-20th, 2009

at BESSY-II, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie.

The third Winter School on Soft X-rays in Macromolecular Crystallography 
(after Seefeld in 2006 and Bressanone in 2003) will bring together 
experts from different fields, which are key-players in the developments 
and further utilization of Soft X-ray applications in structural biology 
with the users of this modern methodology.
The three days school will cover the following topics: (1) the design of 
soft X-ray sources, (2) the design of beamlines optimized for soft X-ray 
research, (3) new detectors, (4) optimal data collection procedures for 
soft X-ray diffraction, (5) new derivatization methods of biological 
macromolecules, (6) long wavelength approaches to increase the anomalous 
scattering of sulfur and other natively occurring anomalous scatterers, 
(7) treatment of soft X-ray data, (from processing towards the phasing 
and phase improvements), (8) radiation damage and its utilization to 
gain structural information. Scientific contributions from participants 
with examples of Soft X-ray related structural studies will be included 
in the program as well.

Re: [ccp4bb] foam dewar usage ?

2008-10-09 Thread Uwe Mueller
we have those 800ml dewars at our beamlines and I would not by them 
anymore. The green lid is not really insulating and the working area 
inside the cylinder is too small. In order to use it for sample 
manipulations, one has to fill it completely with LN2, which will cause 
uncontrolled LN2 spilling while moving the dewar.
I personally prefer the good old stainless steel dewars together with a 
self-made metal lid.

Best regards,
Uwe

Dear all,

Does anyone in the biocrystallogaphy community use foam dewars for

We are interested in the following dewar package from Hampton Research 
: 
http://www.hamptonresearch.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx?cid=24sid=187pid=559


But before purchasing, we would like to have any comments on the 
advantages and drawbacks from people who already tried those dewars.


Thanks in advance for your help and advices.

[ccp4bb] MX-beamtime at BESSY-Berlin, period: January/2009 - June/2009

2008-07-18 Thread Uwe Mueller

Next MX-proposal application deadline: August 15th 2008

See:
http://www.bessy.de/boat/www/

We kindly request MX-proposals for beamtime applications for the next
beamtime period.

In order to apply for beamtime, please register at the BESSY on-line
access tool BOAT (http://www.bessy.de/boat/www/) and submit a new
beamtime application proposal. It is possible to propose a number of
projects within the proposal lifetime of one year. BESSY provides
beamtime at the MX-beamlines 14.1 and 14.2. The requested beamtime is
granted based on the reviewed proposal and reports from previous
research activities at BESSY.

New experimental setup:
We are offering the hard- and software environment for carrying out
UVRIP experiments at BL14.2. For further information, please visit:
http://www.psf.bessy.de/userguide/beamlines/bl1/uvrip.shtml

In July 2008 we did start the user operation of the completely upgraded 
experimental station

at BL14.1.
Key features are:
- Photonflux: 2x10¹¹ Phot/sx100mAx0.05%BW at sample position (1-20 sec 
exposure time per frame)
- MX-225 X-ray detector, 720mm max. distance from the sample, 30 deg 
max. 2Theta

- Microdiffractometer (MD2) with Mini-kappa goniometer MK3
- Automatic sample changer (CATS), 90 sample storage capacity (SPINE-Pin 
 EMBL sample magazine compatibility,

 available in Fall 2008)
- 96-well crystallization plate scanning
- New high performance data processing environment

- Bruker AXS X-Flash XRF detector on BL14.1+2
-MX-225 X-ray detector at BL14.2
