When I last looked a couple of years ago, the number of subscribers to the BB was 6396. Given the many crystallographers who don’t subscribe to the BB, and the EMers who are not ex-crystallographers, I could well believe 20 or 30 thousand. HTH m From: CCP4 bulletin board

You might want to quote how many researchers use the PDB instead. Maybe an inquiry to the PDB could give you that statistic. That would give you a big number On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 1:54 PM Scott Horowitz wrote: > Hi all, I was recently asked how many biological > crystallographers plus

Dear Scott, For the grant application, better question might be how many structural biologists are out there, because "a crystallographer" may be interpreted differently depending who is reading the grant application: are these the people who know crystallography, or people who solve structures

Hi Kay, The idea of a software container is that you have a self-contained set of software with all its dependencies built in. This is particularly useful to make your software run in places where you cannot install other stuff (like on HPC solutions) or in places where your requirements
