Dear all,
the integrated facility at EMBL Hamburg at the PETRA3 synchrotron in Germany consists of two macromolecular crystallography beamlines, a BioSAXS beamline and a laboratory for sample preparation and characterization. For those of you who are interested in a comprehensive characterization of their sample, it might be worth to consider to extend your synchrotron visit and include additional experiments. The integrated facility includes: - Offline protein purification and characterization by circular dichroism, dynamic and static light scattering (can be booked with beamtime) - Online gel filtration and light scattering at the BioSAXS beamline - A high-throughput crystallization facility Samples can be shipped, and experiments can be monitored remotely through a dedicated web interface - Crystal screening on the crystallography beamlines - Quality control protocols All incoming samples for crystallization are tested by mass spectrometry and thermal shift assay, and a report is returned to the user - Sample optimization - Inhouse thermofluor screens to optimize purification, conditioning and crystallizability - Limited proteolysis - Expert staff that assists in the planning, execution and analysis of experiments Access to these facilities is funded by the European Union under the FP7 Biostruct-X grant.
