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.

位于印度的结构生物学研究团队组建了INDIA-BAG，将采用MX（大分子晶体学，Macromolecular 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。欧洲同步辐射装置（European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF）与印度生物技术部（Department of Biotechnology, DBT）签署的非专有协议，为解析各类生物过程的核心机制提供了研究支撑。全球综述中收录了超过50个研究团队的简要概况，而这些团队依托ESRF采集数据所取得的研究成果总结，则收录于两年期BAG报告中。ESRF与印度的合作项目由DBT向RCB（区域生物技术中心，Regional Centre for Biotechnology）提供的单一拨款予以支撑。请注意，需提交一份报告，列明所使用的实验班次数量、用户详情以及此类到访产生的研究成果，提交至DBT以获批拨付资金，用于支付ESRF的会员费。因此，所有印度结构生物学家均被归入同一个BAG，以便于监测研究进展并收集所需的统计数据。
