Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities 2012

                           EMBL Hamburg, Germany

We announce a call for synchrotron beam time applications in biological
small-angle scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular crystallography (MX).
Beam-time will be available at the DORIS and PETRA storage rings from
March 2012 to February 2013.

On the DORIS storage ring, EMBL Hamburg will operate beamlines in
SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and MX (responsible
scientist Victor Lamzin).

On the PETRA storage ring, we will operate one beamline for biological
SAXS (responsible scientist Dmitri Svergun) and one beamline for MX
(responsible scientist Thomas Schneider).

Electronic beam proposal forms and a detailed description of the
beamlines are available at http://www.embl-hamburg.de/
(click on 'Access to Infrastructures'). The deadline for submission of
proposals is January, 31st, 2012. An external Project Evaluation
Committee will assess the proposals.

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities will in part be supported by the
European Commission, Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7
project BioStruct-X (http://www.biostruct-x.eu/).  A new visitor program
for high-throughput crystallization, sample preparation, characterization
and SAXS is now supported by P-CUBE (http://www.p-cube.eu/) for external
users.
