National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"The making of next generation of MX beamlines at NSLS-II"

Presented by Dieter Schneider, Brookhaven National Laboratory

Friday, March 2, 2012, 9:30 am — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

The continuing success of structural biologists in deriving structure and function of increasingly complex macromolecular assemblies drives the continuing development of their primary experimental tool: the MX beamline at the synchrotron. Increasingly smaller, more perfect and more readily available crystals demand a high performance micro-focusing beamline, and the increasing size of molecular assemblies under study requires an intense mini-beam line. The ongoing integration of crystallographic methods into a biologist’s standard toolkit spurs the development of more complete automation of the diffraction experiment and structure solving methods. This talk will measure our plans for the new AMX and FMX beamlines at NSLS-II in this context and offer an occasional look back at their predecessors at NSLS.
