Dear Protein Crystallographers
This is a second reminder for proposals for performing
crystal-based fragment screening at Diamond's XChem facility at
beamline I04-1, for the next allocation period (Oct 2017 to April
2018).
The deadline for proposals is NEXT SATURDAY: 1st APRIL 5PM.
Details of how to submit at this page.
Full details of the facility
are available here. It supports the full
crystal-to-structure experiment, and since opening for users in
2015, it has hosted over 40 users from academia and industry, with
over 30 experiments (>40,000 crystals) consistently yielding
credible, high quality fragment hits. With the right crystals,
it'll keep you busy for less than a few weeks; and you get lots of
support and advice.
The previous call (Sept 2016) was heavily (3x) oversubscribed,
and though we ought to have increased our capacity by next
October, please pay close attention to the instructions and
guidelines.
