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.
