> Dear SRS Users, > > Applications are now invited for beam-time in allocation period 50 (April - > December 2008) on PX station 10.1 at the SRS. The deadline for submission of > proposals is Thursday 1st November. > > Further details on how to apply for beamtime can be found here :- > http://www.srs.ac.uk/srs/userSR/AP50_announcement.htm > > Station 10.1 (http://www.biophysics.dl.ac.uk/srsbl10.html) at the SRS > Daresbury is a world competitive high throughput PX/XAFS structural biology > facility. It has a XAFS capable sagittal focussing monochromator (tuneable > between 5 and 14 keV) a state-of-the-art MarMosaic CCD225 detector and a > state of the art low-profile monolithic 4-element x-ray fluorescence Ge > detector, with an energy resolution of 170-200 eV. This is the first time > that such a high quality fluorescence detector is included as an integral > part of a PX beamline. A crystal microspectrophotometer for measuring optical > data is also available on-line. Station 10.1 is therefore ideally suited for > combining optical, PX and XAFS data collection on the same protein crystal, > identifying metal redox states of crystals in-situ, anomalous diffraction > measurements, monitoring crystals for radiation damage and long wavelength > (up to 2.3Å) SAD phasing experiments. In addition, automated cryogenic sample > changing allows high-throughput crystal screening and data collection. > > Please feel free to contact me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Richard Strange ([EMAIL > PROTECTED]) if you have any questions. > > Yours sincerely, > > Mark Ellis > ------------------------------------------------------- > Dr. Mark Ellis > SRS Station Scientist 10.1 > Researcher Molecular Biophysics Group > Science and Technology Facilities Council > Daresbury Laboratory > Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus > Warrington > Cheshire > WA4 4AD, UK > > tel : +44 (0)1925 603830 http://www.stfc.ac.uk > fax : +44 (0)1925 603748 http://www.biophysics.dl.ac.uk > >
