Dear CCP4,
The deadline for proposals for all beam lines at LANSCE has been extended
by 2 weeks. Below is the reposted call for the PCS.
PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY STATION AT LANSCE -- CALL FOR PROPOSALS
for Run Cycle Beginning the Week of June 5 2008
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, March 17th, 2008. Successful proposals will be scheduled
during the period June 5, 2008 through mid-December 2008. Please note that
there will only be one proposal cycle in calendar year 2008. Because of
the long duration of this run cycle, fast access proposals will be accepted
throughout, but require compelling evidence of sufficient scientific
urgency to justify scheduling.
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 (http://mnc.lanl.gov).
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
(http://lansce.lanl.gov). On this page you will find the link "Submit a
Proposal." Click on this link and submit your PCS proposal at the site for
the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center.
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. Instructions about how to apply for support from the STONE program
are found here.
Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact the
