Dear colleagues, We announce the call for synchrotron beamtime applications in biological small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular crystallography (MX) for the period March - December 2020. The following EMBL/DESY beamlines at PETRA III are available: P12 (SAXS), P13 (MX), and P14 (MX). For both SAXS and MX, instrumentation for pump-probe time-resolved experiments is in place.
Groups applying for beamtime to work on several projects in MX and SAXS are strongly encouraged to submit BAG (Block Allocation Group) proposals. Mail-in proposals for the use of robotic sample changer are encouraged for SAXS. The deadline for submission of proposals for 2020 is: Sunday, 1st December 2019 (midnight CET), after which the proposals will be evaluated by an external Project Evaluation Committee. The users will be informed about the results of their application in early February 2020. A detailed description of the three beamlines and links to the electronic proposal forms can be found at: SAXS: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/saxs/ (see also http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/saxs/How_to_apply_for_BioSAXS_access.pdf) MX: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/mx/ Time-resolved MX: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/mx/P14_EH2 Submit a proposal via the EMBL Hamburg user portal: https://smis.embl-hamburg.de/misapps/SMISWebClient/protected/welcome.do Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities also includes assistance with crystallisation, sample preparation and, in combination with an EMBL beamline visit, with sample characterisation and optimisation.
