PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY STATION AT LANSCE -- CALL FOR PROPOSALS
for Run Cycle Beginning the Week of June 4 2007
You are invited to apply for beam time on the neutron Protein
Crystallography Station (PCS) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The
deadline for submitting proposals is 6:00 p.m. (1800) Mountain Standard
Time on Sunday, February 18, 2007. Any proposals submitted after the due
date will not be reviewed by the Program Advisory Committees and must be
resubmitted for the following run cycle. Rapid access proposals may be
submitted at any time, but require compelling evidence of sufficient
scientific urgency to justify special scheduling. We anticipate a second
call for proposals in midsummer 2007.
The PCS is a high performance neutron protein crystallography beam line
funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research of the U.S.
Department of Energy. Users of the PCS have access to free neutron
beam-time, free perdeuration services and also support for data reduction
and structure analysis.
For more technical information about the PCS and experimental requirements,
contact Paul Langan (505) 665 8125, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Proposal Guidance and Submission
Proposals must be submitted using the process on the LANSCE website; only
proposals submitted in this manner will be accepted. To access the
proposal submission sites, log onto the LANSCE home page
(lansce.lanl.gov). On this page you will find the link "Submit a Proposal
for Beam Time: Begin Here." Click on Begin Here and this will take you to
the proposal sites for either the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center or WNR
Nuclear Science. Click on the site to which you want to submit your
proposal and you will be taken to the on-line submission system.
Detailed instructions for preparing the proposals can be found on the
proposal submission sites under "Step-by-Step Guide to Submitting an Online
Proposal."
Student Travel Support
Travel support is available for students to participate in an experiment
via the STONE (Student Travel Opportunities for Neutron Experiments)
Program. For information about this program go to the relevant proposal
submission site as described previously and click on the "STONE Program"
link under "Resources and Information." Instructions about how to apply
for support from the STONE program are found here.
