Dear CCP4BB Members, The new and fully-upgraded macromolecular crystallography beamline at CHESS, FlexX, is now accepting proposals for the Spring 2021 run.
SPRING 2021 RUN: The regular proposal deadline for the Spring 2021 run is TODAY, Nov. 19, 2020. However, we will accept late proposals due to Covid, but please submit as soon as possible to secure beamtime! The FlexX station (beamline ID7B2) is the all-new macromolecular crystallography station at CHESS. The recently completed CHESS upgrade has considerably improved our capabilities in order to meet the the stringent demands of users. Current capabilities include: * undulator source with multilayer monochromator for high flux. 7-14 keV energy range. Standard beam sizes available: 100 x 100 um (H x V FWHM) and 10 x 10 um microbeam. * single-axis goniostat, EIGER2 16M detector, BAM2 automounter accepting Unipucks * remote data collection with on-site CHESS staff scientist support (NB: due to Covid and occupancy restrictions, physical access for users to CHESS is very limited, so remote data collection is highly recommended!) * we welcome "non-standard" experiments! The staff at CHESS is more than happy to work with users who want to perform experiments beyond standard rotation cryocrystallography. Interested in trying serial crystallography for room-temperature data collection, or microcrystals? High-pressure cryocooling for reduced mosaicity? High-pressure crystallography with a diamond anvil cell? We can accommodate your needs and more! Interested?
