Beamline Design Workshop
Macromolecular Crystallography at PETRA III
EMBL-Hamburg Outstation, April 23 to 25, 2007
Starting in 2007, the PETRA storage ring in Hamburg, Germany,
will be converted into a 3rd generation source for synchrotron
radiation. The new PETRA III storage ring will be operational
in 2009 and provide X-rays of extreme brilliance.
EMBL Hamburg is in charge of building and operating three
undulator beamlines on PETRA III. Two of these beamlines will
be dedicated to macromolecular X-ray crystallography and one
to small angle X-ray scattering (Further information can be
obtained under http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/petra/).
The beamlines will be integrated with facilities for sample
preparation, high-throughput crystallization, data processing
and data evaluation.
The workshop will bring together structural biologists and beamline
scientists to discuss scientific and experimental challenges in
macromolecular crystallography. The results of this discussion
will directly enter into the design of the two beamlines for
macromolecular crystallography in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project.
The workshop will start on 23rd April at 15:00 and finish on
25th April at 18:00. There is no registration fee, but participants
are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation.
For further information and registration, please go to:
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/workshops/2007/mx/
The number of participants will be limited to 50.
The registration deadline is April 4th, 2007.
Applicants will be informed about the acceptance of
their applications by April 9th, 2007.
