<p>Dear Protein Crystallographers and Drug Discoverers<br>
</p>
<p>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 (April 2018 to
Sept 2018). <br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>The deadline for proposals is NEXT SUNDAY 1st OCTOBER 5PM.</b></p>
<p><b>Details of how to submit at <a
href="http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/Fragment-Screening/Applying-for-Fragment-Screening.html">this
page</a>. <br>
</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Full details of the facility <a
href="http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/Fragment-Screening.html">
are available here</a>. It supports the full
crystal-to-structure experiment, and since opening for users in
2015, it has hosted over 50 users from academia and industry,
with over 65 experiments (>50k 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.<br>
</p>
<p>The calls are heavily oversubscribed, so please pay close
attention to the instructions and guidelines. <br>
</p>
Access for EU users is funded via <a
href="http://www.inext-eu.org/">iNEXT</a> (but only if you
follow the instructions!); however we welcome all international
proposals. <br>
<br>
