The (Australian) National Deuteration Facility has issued a call for proposals for protein and DNA deuteration services. The deadline for this first call is May 8, 2009.
Deuteration may be necessary or desirable for: * Neutron crystallography * Neutron scattering (e.g. SANS, neutron reflectrometry) * NMR * Other purposes with scientific merit Deuteration services are available for proteins, DNA, or other molecules produced using bacterial fermentation in D2O, using deuterated precursors if necessary. Deuteration via chemical synthesis is not included in this call, although informal expressions of interest are always welcome, and recommended where development lead times might be long. For more information, please see www.ansto.gov.au/ndf This call for deuteration proposals is part of a general call for neutron facility proposals at ANSTO.
