Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2011
EMBL Hamburg, Germany
We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological
small-angle scattering (SAXS) and X-ray crystallography (PX).
Up to 32 weeks of beam time will be available at the DORIS storage ring
at the synchrotron DESY from March 2011 to February 2012.
On the DORIS storage ring, EMBL Hamburg will operate the beamlines
in SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and PX (responsible
scientist Victor Lamzin).
Electronic beam proposal forms and a detailed description of the DORIS
beamlines are available at www.embl-hamburg.de (click on 'Access to
Infrastructures'). The deadline for submission of proposals is
January, 31st, 2011. An external Priorities Committee will assess the
proposals.
EMBL is constructing three new beamlines for applications in PX and
SAXS at the Petra-III synchrotron storage ring, which are expected
to become available in 2011-2012 (responsible scientist Thomas Schneider).
For further information and for potential participation in the
commissioning as test users see www.embl-hamburg.de/services/petra
A high-throughput crystallisation facility at the EMBL-Hamburg
(responsible scientist Jochen Mueller-Dieckmann) is available to
external users,
see www.embl-hamburg.de/facilities/access_infrastructures/htpx).

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities will in part be supported by the
European Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7
projects ELISA and PCUBE.
