Dear Users,
/Deadline for March/April 2009 proposals will be Jan 15, 2009.
/
Through the Collaborative Crystallography Pilot Program (CC) at the
Advanced Light Source, scientists can send protein crystals
to Berkeley Center for Structural biology (BCSB) staff researchers for
data collection and analysis. The CC Pilot Program can provide
an number of benefits to researchers:
* Obtain high quality data and analysis through collaborating with
expert beamline researchers;
* Rapid turn around on projects;
* Reduced travel costs.
Thumbnail Description:
======================
The Collaborative Crystallography program will be piloted on beamlines
5.0.1 and 5.0.2 for one year; if successful it will be
implemented on a permanent basis. CC proposals will go through the
regular ALS General User proposal review process
for beamtime allocation. Proposals will be reviewed and ranked by
the Proposal Study Panel, and beamtime will be
allocated accordingly. BCSB staff will schedule the projects to fit
into the available resources.
Only non-proprietary projects will be accepted. As a condition of
participation, BCSB staff researchers who participate in data
collection and/or analysis must be appropriately acknowledged -
typically being included as authors on publications and in PDB
depositions. Please consult the website for additional information at:

Click on "protein crystallography" to begin proposal. For question 3
select "Collaborative PX 501/502." For question 9,
please describe a specific research project with a clear end point. In
order to request CC time for March/April 2009
allocation period, proposals must be submitted by January 15, 2009. The
deadline for CC proposals for the time period
May/June 2009 will be March 15, 2009.
