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 to study different biological macromolecules. The non-proprietary agreement signed between ESRF and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) enables studies that provide fundamental mechanistic insight regarding different biological processes. A brief description of over 50 research groups is provided in the global summary and a summary of their research contributions involving data collected at ESRF is provided in the 2 year BAG report. The ESRF-India partnership is supported by a single grant provided to the RCB by the DBT. Please note that a report listing no. of shifts utilized, details of users and the research output from these visits 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 monitoring of progress to collect the required statistics.

印度本土的结构生物学研究团队联合组建了INDIA-BAG，将采用MX（大分子X射线晶体学，Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography）与SAXS（小角X射线散射，Small-Angle X-ray Scattering）技术开展各类生物大分子的相关研究。欧洲同步辐射光源（European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF）与印度生物技术部（Department of Biotechnology, DBT）签署的非专有使用协议，为解析各类生物过程核心机制的研究提供了必要支撑。全球概况文档中收录了该协作组旗下50余家研究团队的简要介绍，而2年期BAG报告则汇总了这些团队依托ESRF采集实验数据所取得的全部研究成果。ESRF与印度的合作项目由DBT向RCB拨付的单一资助项目提供支持。请注意：需提交专项报告，列明实验时段使用情况、用户详细信息以及此类到访产生的研究产出，提交至DBT以获批拨付资金，用于缴纳ESRF会员费。因此，所有印度结构生物学家均被归入同一BAG，以便跟踪项目进度并收集所需统计数据。
