Advanced Photon Source, Sector 21 - The Life Sciences Collaborative Access Team (LS-CAT) - CAT Member Macromolecular Crystallography

The Life Sciences Collaborative Access Team (LS-CAT) provides Macromolecular Crystallography support to our CAT members from eight Universities in the USA, including Northwestern University, University of Michigan, Wayne State University, Michigan State University, University Wisconsin, Vanderbilt University, and University of Illinois at Chicago, and also to General Users. With a one-year dark period approaching for the upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source (APS-U), we are seeking beam time for our CAT Member laboratories at ESRF by way of this Block Allocation Group, consisting of a portion of our CAT Member PIs and their laboratory members, in order to keep supporting their research and future funding. LS-CAT is organizing our CAT Members into this BAG Proposal, and other proposals we will submit, in order to streamline the process for our CAT Members, and for the Staff of Lightsources to which we are applying for access to beam time.

生命科学协作访问团队（LS-CAT）为来自美国八所大学的CAT成员提供大分子晶体学支持，这些大学包括西北大学、密歇根大学、韦恩州立大学、密歇根州立大学、威斯康星大学、范德堡大学及芝加哥伊利诺伊大学，同时也为普通用户提供支持。随着先进光子源（APS-U）升级的一年期停机期临近，我们正通过此块分配组（BAG）为CAT成员实验室申请欧洲同步辐射装置（ESRF）的光束时间——该组由部分CAT成员首席研究员（PI）及其实验室成员组成，旨在持续支持他们的研究及未来资助。LS-CAT正将其CAT成员组织到本BAG提案及后续提交的其他提案中，以简化CAT成员及我们所申请光束时间的光源机构工作人员的流程。
