Team Leader vacancy: PX group, SGC-Oxford
by Frank von Delft 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

I have a vacancy for Team Leader for Infrastructure and Methods Development in my group that is still being advertised; this is the Protein Crystallography group of the Structural Genomics Consortium, Oxford. For details, please see: http://www.sgc.ox.ac.uk/jobs/07079.html, and feel free to contact me if curious. The remit of the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is to solve human proteins of medical relevance and place them in the public domain without restrictions; it is funded by a consortium of public and industrial funders, and has independently operating sites in Oxford and Toronto Universities and Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm). The Oxford site solved nearly 200 such structures in its first three years, and has now entered Phase II, with 4 years of funding till June 2011; it now has an increased emphasis on chemical biology and membrane proteins. The Protein Crystallography group collaborates tightly with the 5 other groups to get their purified proteins crystallized and solved -- five per month, to be precise. Equally importantly, with all the robotics and toys you'd care for, and access not only to lots of real-life samples but also to 3 years' worth of structured data accumulated during Phase I, we're ideally positioned for development and testing of crystallographic methods, which will be the major scientific thrust of the group in this phase. Enthusiastic crystallographers, especially those that really enjoy the nuts and bolts of the technique and mucking around with tricks and toys, both crystallization and algorithms, are encouraged to apply.

Request for C shell script file for phenix.refine
by Partha Chakrabarti 01 Oct '07

Hi, I am wondering if one can have master scripts (C shell) for the macro cycle of phenix.refine that can be used from the command line. It is easier to comment out an option than having to type the whole thing.. has anybody tried it? Similar scripts exist for solve/resolve and phaser.. I should not say it, I am myself not adverse to using the GUI, it is just easier when the poor postdoc sits with the boss.. typically I face the question: where is the script file & where is the log file :)) Cheers, Partha -- MRC National Institute for Medical Research Division of Molecular Structure The Ridgeway, NW7 1AA, UK Email: pchakra(a)nimr.mrc.ac.uk Phone: + 44 208 816 2515
