Dear Protein Crystallographers and Drug Discoverers
A reminder that we are again inviting proposals for performing
crystal-based fragment screening at Diamond's XChem facility at beamline
I04-1, for the next allocation period (October 2018 to March 2019).
*The deadline for proposals is WEDNESDAY 4TH APRIL @ 5PM.*
*Details of how to submit at this page
<http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/Fragment-Screening/Applying-for-Fragment-Screening.html>.
*
Full details of the facility are available here
<http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/Fragment-Screening.html>. It
supports the full crystal-to-structure experiment, and since opening for
users in 2015, it has hosted over 60 users from academia and industry
(>70k crystals), consistently yielding credible, high quality fragment
hits. With the right crystals, it'll keep you busy for less than a few
weeks; and you get lots of support and advice.
The calls are heavily oversubscribed, so please pay close attention to
the instructions and guidelines.
Access for EU users is funded via iNEXT <http://www.inext-eu.org/> (but
only if you follow the instructions!); however we welcome all
international proposals.
