A Structural Biologist's Guide to High Energy Data Collection Facilities
Explore sites in theAmericas,Europe,Asia/Oceania: See which sites offer remote data collection; mail-in, crystallization and structure solution services; robotics for crystal screening and mounting; microfocus beams and facilities for collecting data under extreme conditions.
Search the facilities: Query across sites/beamlines to find particular detectors, robotics, special capabilities, etc. Information on the depositor's country of origin is also available.
View thestatistics: Available forProtein Data Bank (PDB) depositions for which data has been collected at a synchrotron site.
