X-ray User Group Meetings Schedule Aug 25: Yonghong Zhao Sept 28: SCSB Celebration (Tues) Oct 20: Pascal Boulee, XENOCS Nov 24: Happy Thanksgiving Dec 29: Happy New Year |
When: October 20th at 11am Where: in BSB 2.240 What: XENOCS' Curved multilayer optics for protein crystallography. Hear about the latest innovation in x-ray optics for the home laboratory. Msr. Pascal Boulee, Xenocs SA (France), will tell us all about the latest in x-ray optics for the laboratory and synchrotron. We will have the opportunity to test the XENOCS optics on our CCD system. So let me know if you have a sample you would like to use as test case. Who: Pascal Boulee Contact: Dr. Mark A. White white@xray.utmb.edu |

SCSB Crystallography News |
A-F of Acta Crystallographica will be available from the MML beginning Jan 2005. HKL2000 is now available for processing your data from home or your synchrotron visit. MOSFLM, PHASER and CCP4-5.0.1 are now installed and operational on our Linux workstations. Why wait two weeks? Skip the queue! The waiting list for the DIP2030 detector, equipped with the new MSC Blue confocal optics is now averaging two weeks. The SMART2K CCD detector system, which still has the older Gobel optics, is available for larger crystals (> 0.2mm) which diffract reasonably well. So don't wait, hop on the CCD, the queue is much shorter. Recent SCSB Crystallography Publications: Emily E. Scott, Mark A. White, You Ai He, Eric F. Johnson, C. David Stout, and James R.

User Training |
The SCSB staff is always ready and happy to train your students, post-docs and technicians in the correct use of the SCSB Instrumentation. They will also pick-up a few helpful hints along the way also. The support of the SCSB and the assistance by the staff member(s) should be acknowledged in any publications. |
|
|
Mentoring |
If you do not have the expertise to perform certain types of research the SCSB staff or faculty may be able to mentor your graduate student or post-doc as a collaborative project. Mentoring requires a significant commitment by both the mentor and student learning a new field of research. The Mentor should be co-author on any publications resulting from the student's research project. The support of the SCSB should be acknowledged in any publications. |
|
|
Collaborations |
Please contact any SCSB researcher (PI) or Core Manager to discuss possible collaborate research projects. Of course such projects are at the discretion and time-restraints of the collaborator. The Collaborator should be an author on any publications resulting from the collaborative research project. The support of the SCSB should be acknowledged in any publications. |
