CALL FOR PROPOSALS for experiments at the macromolecular crystallography
beamlines at MAX-lab, Lund, Sweden.

Researchers using synchrotron radiation for macromolecular 
crystallography are invited to submit proposals for beam time for 
experiments to be carried out during the time period July 2006 to June 2007.

*** The proposal deadline is March 3, 2006 ***

Note: Groups who received two year block allocations for macromolecular 
crystallography in 2005 do not need to apply this year.

Note: It will be possible to apply for rapid access after March 3, i.e. 
groups that do not have beamtime allocated during the normal application 
round can apply for beamtime at any time. However these applications 
will still be subject to evaluation, so access might still be more rapid 
if you already have an accepted proposal!

BEAMLINES FOR MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
There are now four beamlines open for MX (see below). I911-3 is now also 
accepting users for MAD (wavelength range 0.7 - 2.0 Å).

Beamtime for macromolecular crystallography is available at:

* Beamline I911-2: Fixed-wavelength (1.04 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb,
marccs sample changer

* Beamline I911-3: Now open for MAD. Tunable 0.7-2.0 Å: 225mm marmosaic, 
kappa goniostat, semi-automatic crystal centering, Roentec fluorescence 
detector

* Beamline I911-5: Fixed-wavelength (0.91 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb

* Beamline I711: (0.8 - 1.55 Å): 165mm marccd, mardtb

All beamlines are equipped with user-friendly data collection software.

I711:  http://www.maxlab.lu.se/beamlines/bli711/

ACCESSIBILITY AND SUPPORT
MAX-lab is situated in Lund, 50 km or 30 minutes by car from Copenhagen 
airport (with less than 2 hour flights from e.g. London, Paris, 
Strasbourg, Munich, Budapest, Helsinki,...). Trains leave the airport 
every 20 to 40 minutes (44 minutes to Lund).
Users from EU countries and associated states can apply for financial 
support through the project "Integrating Activity on Synchrotron and 
Free Electron Laser Science (IA-SFS)" within the Sixth Framework 
Programme (more information can be found in beamtime application 
instructions).

Information on how to prepare and submit proposals as well as 
descriptions of the other experimental facilities available at MAX-lab 
can be found on our web-site http://www.maxlab.lu.se
