Subject: [ccp4bb] high purity imidazole

Colleagues,

In August of 2013 there was a tread regarding high purity Imidazole and someone 
posted list of products with absorption values at 280 nm and manufacturer.
I can find most of the e-mails from that tread but not the one with list of 
Imidazoles. Has anyone saved that e-mail for future use and willing to share it 
with me?

FWIW, the remit of CCP4BB, held at jiscmail-central, is describes as:

Thus wet-lab questions are not off-topic (not that anyone recently

[ccp4bb] Postdoc Position on Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins in Brazil

2014-02-12 Thread Andre Luis Berteli Ambrosio
Dear colleagues,
I intend to implement work on structural biology  (by X-ray crystallography) of 
membrane proteins in my lab, more specifically on the subset of inner 
mitochondrial membrane carriers. For this, I would like to take this 
opportunity and invite anybody who is prospecting a postdoc in the field, and 
for the second semester of 2014, to consider coming to Brazil.
My laboratory is located at the Brazilian National Laboratory for Biosciences 
(LNBio), which is hosted in the same campus as the Brazilian Synchrotron Light 
Source (LNLS) as well as the third-generation synchrotron source Sirius, 
currently under construction. LNBio has an exceptional infrastructure dedicated 
to all aspects of structural biology. The campus is located in Campinas, about 
1 hour driving, inland from the city of São Paulo.
Brazilian research grants to principal investigators seldom allow the payment 
of salaries to postdocs or students, so as a rule fellowships or scholarships 
have to be applied on demand to the funding agencies, as in this case.
Specifically, the PD fellowship proposal I advertise will be presented - in the 
form of a research project - to the funding agency which has been funding my 
lab since its establishment (about 4 years ago), as a joint application by 
myself and the chosen candidate.
The time frame for analysis is around 100 days from submission. If approved, 
the PD fellowship is granted for 24 months and can be renewed for an extra 12 
months. The stipend is currently R$ 5.908,80 or approximately USD 2,500.00, 
tax-free.
According to the agency rules, on demand PD fellowship applications that 
receive a favorable assessment from ad hoc reviewers will be put forward for a 
monthly comparative analysis session, which in my experience, takes especially 
into consideration the previous experience of the candidate in the field; thus, 
a publication record in structural biology and/or membrane proteins may grant 
considerable advantage to the candidate.
So, if yourself  or anybody you know would like to consider this opportunity, 
please, do not hesitate to contact me, sending a copy of your CV and the name 
of a reference scientist to whom I could ask for recommendation. I will be more 
than happy to provide further details on every aspect of this position 
(including the research project, the fellowship, my institution or myself) to 
serious, motivated and talented candidates.
The funding agency requires that the candidate should have concluded a 
doctorate less than seven years before the beginning of the PD fellowship, 
which would be around August or September 2014.
Thank you for your attention,
Andre LB Ambrosio
LNBio, CNPEM - Brazil

From the point of view of one of the wet lab personnel, picking the brains of 
the experienced keeps us from reinventing the wheel at intervals.  We really 
appreciate the insight you can offer when we venture into unknown territories, 
and we are grateful when you take the time to share.

I don't think there is an email system in existence that allows anyone to 
totally screen the incoming mail.  Often the content is fairly clear from the

Re: [ccp4bb] Sister CCPs

It's not an e-mail bulletin board, but Researchgate seems to be quite popular 
for wet lab questions. IMO the QA section of the social network is a bit 
messy. That said, the quality seems to improve gradually.

suite, and macromolecular crystallography in general./



Thus wet-lab questions are not off-topic (not that anyone recently
described them as such).

Having said that, Jiscmail mailing lists are easy to set-up (providing
that you can reasonably expect that the mailing list will improve
knowledge sharing within the UK centered academic community) and
relatively low maintenance. I, for one, would not be entirely unhappy to
miss out on questions about lysis.

The wet lab questions on ccp4bb are crystallography related in most if not all cases, aren't they? I'm quite sure that people send more general wet lab questions to other bb's.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position in chromosome cryo-ET at the National University of Singapore

2014-02-12 Thread Lu Gan
Dear Colleagues,

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the Centre for
BioImaging Sciences at the National University of Singapore, Singapore. The
candidate will work with my team to study chromatin in eukaryotic cells
using electron cryotomography (cryo-ET). The goal is to determine how
chromatin structure couples to transcription, genome integrity, and
development.


The Centre of BioImaging Sciences is equipped with state-of-the-art
instrumentation, including a Titan Krios equipped with a Falcon direct
detector. These imaging facilities are supported by excellent staff and
computational resources.


The candidate should have experience with X-ray crystallography and/or
electron microscopy (either biological or materials science). S/he should
be highly motivated and must have a strong research record as demonstrated
by publications.



Interested candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and three
recommendation letters to Lu Gan (l...@anaphase.org).


Cheers,

-Lu

[ccp4bb] Rmerge of Images

2014-02-12 Thread Keller, Jacob
Dear Crystallographers,

Where can I find the definition of the R vs batch reported in scaling? 
Specifically I am wondering whether it is cumulative (each new frame versus all 
previous ones pooled together) or something else, and also how this metric can 
have any meaning on early frames when one has measured each reflection only 
once (in p1, this would be 180 degrees). I am wondering about its efficacy as a 
radiation-damage metric.

JPK
