The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
The 5th edition of the MX user workshop will be a joint MX and Circular Dichroism (CD) workshop with updates on beamline, capabilities, software, and access. The meeting will include sessions on the use of MX and CD to address crystallisation, protein/ligand binding, and natively disordered structures.
Organisers: Thomas Sorenson & Giuliano Siligardi
