Dear Users,

The deadline for Jan/Feb 2010 Collaborative
Crystallography proposals will be *November 15, 2009. *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Through the Collaborative Crystallography Program  (CC) at the
Advanced Light Source (ALS), scientists can send protein crystals
to Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BCSB) staff researchers
for data collection and analysis. The CC Program can provide a
number of benefits to researchers:

   * Obtain high quality data and analysis through collaborating with expert beamline
     researchers;
   * Rapid turn around on projects; and
   * Reduced travel costs.

To apply, please submit  a proposal through the ALS General User
proposal review process for beamtime allocation. Proposals are
reviewed and ranked by the Proposal Study Panel, and beamtime is
 allocated accordingly. BCSB staff schedule the CC projects on
Beamlines 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 to fit into the available resources. Only
non-proprietary projects will be accepted. As a condition of
participation, BCSB staff researchers who participate in data
collection and/or analysis must be appropriately acknowledged -
typically being included as authors on publications and in PDB
depositions. Please consult the website for additional information at:

To submit a proposal, go to:  http://alsusweb.lbl.gov/. Scroll
down to "*Structural Biology beamlines (includes protein SAXS)*"
 and click on "New Proposal."  Enter your proposal information, with
 attention to the following details:

 * For question 3/First choice, select "5.0.1
   (Monochromatic);" for question 3/Second choice, select "5.0.2 (MAD)."
 * Check box (yes) in response to question "Do you want collaborative crystallography
    (beamline 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 only)
 * In question 9, please describe a specific research project with  a clear end point.

In order to request CC time for Jan/Feb 2010 allocation period,
 proposals must be submitted by *November 15, 2009.*

The deadline for CC proposals for the time period March/April  2010 will be January 15, 2010.
