Remote Access Crystallography at SSRLLearn how to efficiently screen numerous crystals for diffraction quality
and conduct successful MAD experiments
without leaving your home institution.
|
Training SummaryComplete protein crystallography experiments are carried out routinely at SSRL from remote locations around the world, using secure protocols. All the macromolecular beamlines are equipped with advanced internet-based software tools, robotic sample mounters, video observation and other highly automated equipment. In this workshop attendees will learn about the beamline and software developments and how to successfully complete all stages of a remote access experiment. The workshop is intended to be highly practical with topics covered including:
Schedule: The workshop will start with lectures and a live demonstration of remote access data collection. In the afternoon there will be two hands-on training sessions:
