About Structural Biology at NSLS

Beamlines are operated by Participating Research Teams. PRTs are entitled to 75% of their beamlines operational time. The remaining 25% is administered by the NSLS through the General User Program. A collaborative arrangement can sometimes be made with a PRT to obtain beam time.

a website with technical and administrative information about all beamlines for macromolecular crystallography at NSLS

a website listing the beamlines, technology, personnel and projects of the CSB, includes full beamline and user information. beamlines: X9A (crystallography), X28C, U2B


Structural Genomics at NSLS

one of the seven NIH-funded structural genomics projects. NYSGRC is using beamlines X9A, X12B/C, X25 for the project.

A world-wide consortium of scientists developing a foundation for tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment by determining the 3-dimensional structures of proteins from M. tuberculosis.
