Remote Access for Macromolecular Crystallography Beam Lines -
October 19th 2005
Description
SSRL now provides remote access tools that allow experimenters to screen
macromolecular protein samples and collect crystallographic data from
remote locations, anywhere in the world. The system makes use of high
capacity sample cassettes and robotic mounting systems implemented on
the macromolecular crystallography beamlines.
SSRL is hosting a remote
access workshop where participants will learn about remote
experimentation as well as specific methods for mounting crystals in
cassettes and subsequent shipment of cassettes to SSRL. Participants
are encouraged to bring their laptop computers and learn how to
successfully install the remote access software (Windows, MAC and Linux
operating systems are currently supported). Participants will be able
to control beamlines remotely and also learn how to use Web-Ice, a
web-browser based interface for scoring and indexing diffraction images.
Please register at the SSRL Users' Meeting web site by Friday, October 7.
