We announce the call for synchrotron beamtime applications in
biological small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and macromolecular
crystallography (MX) for the period March - December 2020.
The following EMBL/DESY beamlines at PETRA III are available:
P12 (SAXS), P13 (MX), and P14 (MX). For both SAXS and MX,
instrumentation for pump-probe time-resolved experiments is in place.
Groups applying for beamtime to work on several projects in MX and
SAXS are strongly encouraged to submit BAG (Block Allocation Group)
proposals. Mail-in proposals for the use of robotic sample changer
are encouraged for SAXS. The deadline for submission of proposals for 2020 is
Sunday, 1st December 2019 (midnight CET)
after which the proposals will be evaluated by an external Project
Evaluation Committee. The users will be informed about the results of
their application in early February 2020.
A detailed description of the three beamlines and links
to the electronic proposal forms can be found at:

Access to the EMBL Hamburg facilities also includes assistance with
crystallisation, sample preparation and, in combination with an
EMBL beamline visit, with sample characterisation and optimisation.
