Going further in MX: advanced experiments at Diamond

 The Going further in MX: Advanced experiments at Diamond on-site training session is aimed at experienced users who have already participated in a number of data collection sessions at Diamond.

The aim of this training is to provide established Diamond MX users with further training in advanced experimental techniques available at Diamond including sample preparation and biophysics, protein dynamics, fragment screening, micro-/nano-crystallography, phasing/anomalous diffraction and the associated data analysis tools available for many of these techniques. Where appropriate, sessions will be supported by the MX data analysis team.

A brief summary of the sessions can be found below:

• Challenging samples (MPL/Protein Crystallisation Facility/VMXi)
• Small Crystals (VMXm & MX data analysis)
• Drug Discovery (XChem & MX data analysis)
• What's my atom? (I23 & MX data analysis)
• Proteins in motion (XFEL-Hub/I24 & MX data analysis)

All of the above sessions are 1hr 45 in length and will have no more than 6 participants per group. Some of the above sessions will provide opportunities for participants to bring their own samples to use during the workshop such as the challenging samples and small crystals sessions.
