Dear Friends in Crystallography, Below is a blurb about the workshop we are organizing for December 9-10. It will be a brainstorming session to define the needs of the structural biology community that will influence the design of the next generation of neutron beamlines. Please let me know if you have any questions. G
This is an exciting time for neutron scattering in the U.S. as the future Second Target Station (STS) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will provide transformative new capabilities that both complement and greatly extend our current resources for neutron scattering. Scientists of all disciplines, from beginners to experts, interested in the STS project and in the new capabilities it will enable are invited to ORNL on December 9-10. *You can attend in person or by remote access. The details for registering can be found here: https://conference.sns.gov/event/193/ <https://conference.sns.gov/event/193/>*. This workshop is a critical step in the STS project. It will lead to the identification of the essential performance parameters for a prospective suite of instruments and to the formation of teams that will continue to refine the science case and participate in defining the requirements for individual instruments to be built at the STS. The workshop is organized around four breakout sessions for each of seven main science topical areas. The focus of these breakouts is to facilitate discussion of the opportunities enabled by the STS across current and prospective future scientific fields and to identify the capabilities and performance parameters that need to be enabled by STS neutron instruments. The biology breakout sessions are: (1) Time-Resolved Proton Transfer in Biology, Biochemistry, and Medicine (2) Cell Signaling at Membranes (3) Macromolecular Complex Assembly and Disassembly (4) Bioinspired Materials and Technology We are looking forward to your participation!
