Dear Colleague,
This is a gentle reminder of our call for beam time applications
at EMBL Hamburg that we circulated a few weeks ago.
We kindly ask you to complete your beam time proposal
by the deadline of ---> 16 May 2008 <----
If you have already taken action, you can ignore this message.

EMBL HAMBURG UNIT
Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2008
We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological
X-ray crystallography (PX) and small-angle scattering (SAXS).
Up to 12 weeks of beam time will be available at the DORIS storage ring
(DESY) during the period September 2008 until December 2008.
The EMBL Outstation will operate the following beamlines:
Beamline Type Wavelength Scientist responsible
X11 PX 0.80 A Paul Tucker
X12 PX tuneable Manfred Weiss
X13 PX 0.80 A Matthew Groves
X33 SAXS 1.5 A Dmitri Svergun, Manfred Roessle
The deadline for submission of proposals is May 16th, 2008. An external
Priorities Committee will assess the proposals.
Electronic beam proposal forms and detailed description of the beamline
facilities are available via the web links
http://www.embl-hamburg.de and http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services
In parallel, EMBL-Hamburg is constructing three new beamlines for
applications in biological X-ray crystallography (PX) and small-angle
scattering (SAXS) at the Petra-III synchrotron storage ring, with an
expected opening in 2010/11. Further information can be obtained under
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/petra.
Two of the DORIS-III beamlines (BW7A, BW7B) will be used as test
beamlines for future Petra-III applications. Depending on circumstances,
they may become temporarily available to the external user community.
Applications to use the EMBL-Hamburg high-throughput crystallisation
facility can be made at any time at
http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/crystallisation
Further information can be obtained by tel. +49-40-89902-110,
(fax +49-40-89902-149), Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PX),
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (SAXS).
Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities is supported by the European
Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP6 'Structuring the
European Research Area Specific Programme', Contract Number
RII3-CT-2004-506008.
