Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2011
EMBL Hamburg, Germany
We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological
small-angle scattering (SAXS) and X-ray crystallography (PX). Up to 32
weeks of beam time will be available at the DORIS storage ring at the
synchrotron DESY from March 2011 to February 2012.
On the DORIS storage ring, EMBL Hamburg will operate the beamlines in
SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and PX (responsible
scientist Victor Lamzin).
Electronic beam proposal forms and a detailed description of the DORIS
beamlines will be available from January, 15th, 2011 at www.embl-hamburg.de
(click on 'Access to Infrastructures'). The deadline for submission of
proposals is January, 31st, 2011. An external Priorities Committee will
assess the proposals.
EMBL is constructing three new beamlines for applications in PX and SAXS
at the Petra-III synchrotron storage ring, which are expected to become
available in 2011-2012 (responsible scientist Thomas Schneider). For
further information and for potential participation in the commissioning
as test users see www.embl-hamburg.de/services/petra
A high-throughput crystallisation facility at the EMBL-Hamburg
(responsible scientist Jochen Mueller-Dieckmann) is available to external
users, see www.embl-hamburg.de/facilities/access_infrastructures/htpx).

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities will in part be supported by the
European Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7
projects ELISA and PCUBE.
