The Protein Data Bank now requires your experimental data

The Protein Data Bank is requiring, effective February 1, 2008 (i.e. tomorrow), that structure factor amplitudes/intensities for crystal structures [must be deposited](http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=general_information/news_publications/news/news_2007.html#20071204) along with model coordinates. So if you need some structure factors to go along with your PDBs we can help you out. Apply for beamtime via the red “[GENERAL USER PROPOSAL](http://www-als.lbl.gov/als/quickguide/independinvest.html)” link in…

New DOMO Sample Dewar Lid

We’ve installed a sweet new blue anodized aluminum air dam on the pneumatic lid for the DOMO sample dewar (with color coordinated electric blue CPU fans). The air dam helps to draw off frozen ice crystals from the air above the liquid nitrogen when the dewar lid is open. This will hopefully prevent the ice…

Detergents that may be useful for your SAXS experiment

[Quen Cheng](mailto:QJCheng@lbl.gov) in the Cooper lab has done a nice set of [experiments](http://bl1231.als.lbl.gov/saxs_protocols/saxs_detergents.php) to address the usefulness of various readily available detergents for improving the behavior proteins in SAXS experiments.

Publications in 2007

At least 18 publications were made possible by the SIBYLS beamline in 2007 and have been added to our [publications](http://bl1231.als.lbl.gov/publications/index.php) page. We are very pleased that the PX and SAXS endstations have been so useful to so many researchers doing such varied work. We hope that 2008 will be even more productive. If you know…

Review of SAXS combined with crystallography and computation

A new review on macromolecular SAXS has been published in the Quarterly Reviews in Biophysics by *Putnam, C.D., Hammel, M., Hura, G.L., and Tainer, J.A.* >”This six part review addresses both theoretical and practical concepts, concerns and considerations for using these techniques in conjunction with computational methods to productively combine solution scattering data with high-resolution…
