[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.
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…

DOMO used to collect data remotely for the first time.
This is pretty funny
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…

Rands is even more obsessed about his writing instruments than Jane and I.
Scott Williams, a postdoc in the Tainer group at The Scripps Research Institute, was the first crystallographer to use DOMO. Here he is kicking back and enjoying some of the fine espresso available at the beamline while DOMO mounts his samples from the custom LN2 sample dewar in the hutch. Scott screened through ~40 samples…

I would have to say that these sentiments mirror my own when it comes to the appropriateness of laptops in meetings.
