National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"Protein Crystallography at the HHMI Beamlines: The Good, the Bad, and the Upgrades"

Presented by Dr. Corie Ralston, Advanced Light Source, Berkeley California

Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 10:30 am — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) protein crystallography beamlines at the ALS (beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2) were fully commissioned in 2003. Since that time, they have grown tremendously in the size of their user community and in their versatility, becoming two of the most productive crystallography beamlines at national synchrotron light sources. In this talk, I will cover the history of the beamlines up through the recently implemented robotics upgrade, discuss the planned beamline optics upgrades, and demonstrate the remote operation of the beamlines. I will present recent examples of structures obtained at the beamlines, and discuss the value of the science made possible at the beamlines in the context of the wider biological sciences.
