Structural Biology of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes from India

Structural biology research groups located in India constitute the INDIA-BAG and will utilize MX, SAXS and CryoEM to study different biological macromolecules. The non-proprietary agreement signed between ESRF and the Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), on behalf of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) enables studies that provide fundamental insight regarding different biological processes . About 50 groups are part of this BAG and the allocated beamtime will be available for over 500 young researchers. A brief description of all the research groups is provided in the global summary. The ESRF-India partnership is supported by a grant provided by the DBT. Please note that a comprehensive annual report has to be sent to the DBT to obtain release of funds to pay ESRF membership dues. Consequently, all the structural biologists from India are grouped in a single BAG to enable smooth allocation of beamtime and monitoring of progress to collect the required statistics.

位于印度的结构生物学研究团队组成了INDIA-BAG，该群组将采用MX（Macromolecular Crystallography，大分子晶体学）、SAXS（Small-Angle X-ray Scattering，小角X射线散射）与CryoEM（Cryo-Electron Microscopy，冷冻电子显微镜）技术，对各类生物大分子开展研究。欧洲同步辐射光源（European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF）与代表生物技术部（Department of Biotechnology, DBT）的区域生物技术中心（Regional Centre for Biotechnology, RCB）签署了非专有协议，此举为解析各类生物过程的核心机制提供了研究支撑。该BAG现有约50个研究团队，分配获得的束流时间将面向超过500名青年研究人员开放。所有研究团队的简要说明已收录于全球概况文档中。ESRF与印度的合作项目由DBT提供的资助予以支持。请注意，需向DBT提交完整的年度报告，方可获得拨付资金以支付ESRF的会员费。因此，印度所有结构生物学家被整合至单个BAG中，以实现束流时间的顺畅分配与进展监测，进而收集所需的统计数据。
