[SA_Scat] Reminder: Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities, 2019 - EMBL Hamburg, Germany

[Sarah Marshall]

*Call for access to Synchrotron Beamline Facilities, 2019 - EMBL 
Hamburg, Germany *
_Submission deadline: Sunday 16 December 2018 _

We would like to remind you about the call for synchrotron beam time 
applications in biological small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and 
macromolecular crystallography (MX) for the period March - December 
2019. The following EMBL/DESY beamlines at PETRA III are available: P12 
(SAXS), P13 (MX), and P14 (MX).

For the groups applying for beamtime to work on several projects in MX 
and/or SAXS, we strongly recommend the submission of BAG (Block 
Allocation Group) proposals. Mail-in projects to use the robotic sample 
changer or inline SEC-SAXS are encouraged for SAXS. Proposals utilizing 
the new time-resolved crystallographic endstation P14.EH2 are encouraged 
for MX.

The deadline for submission of proposals for 2019 is*Sunday 16 December 
2018 (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 by 4 February 2019.

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/index.html
MX: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/services/mx/index.html

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.

Usage of the beamlines and biophysical facilities for translational 
research can in part be supported by the iNEXT project 
(http://www.inext-eu.org/access/) of the Horizon 2020 programme of the 
European Union. iNEXT support can be requested for the projects 
conducted before 31 August 2019.
