Objective
Principal characteristics of the facility and of the support offered to users:
The EMBL Hamburg Outstation is situated at the DESY site and is provided with synchrotron radiation (SR) from the DORIS storage ring of DESY. The Hamburg Outstation has research interests in molecular structural biology, using synchrotron radiation. It operates seven SR beam lines available to external users: four for protein crystallography, two for small angle scattering from non-crystalline systems and one for X ray absorption spectroscopy. These beam lines have been built and are maintained by the EMBL Hamburg Outstation. SR is currently available for 31 weeks per year, of which on average 150 days per beam line are offered to external research groups. The projects of external research groups are selected and scheduled according to peer review results from an international Priorities Committee. Each external project is supervised by a staff member of the EMBL Hamburg Outstation. The Outstation provides ancillary equipment and its scientific infrastructure to external users to obtain optimal experimental results, but it cannot offer travel and subsistence support for external users. The Outstation is visited by about 500 external users per year from most of the European countries, in part supported by the current HCM contract (CHGE-CT93-0040). The beam lines of the Hamburg Outstation are recognised as leading and unique facilities in Europe. Under this proposal, the Outstation's scientific experience and infrastructure, centred on its beam lines, is offered for training in the structural biology methods applied at the Hamburg Outstation, thereby increasing the mobility of new European scientists from countries where comparable facilities do not exist.
Quantity of access being offered and number of users who may benefit: The following access is expected to be offered to TMR users (annually / full period):
(beam days) (no. of users)
Protein crystallography (4 beam lines) 386/1,158 243/729
Muscle, Non-crystalline systems, EXAFS (3 beam lines)
138/414 37/111
