Journal Covers (NEW)
PX at Daresbury
PX experiments at Daresbury are performed using the high energy X-rays from the Synchrotron Radiation Source. The PX Staff support four experimental Stations : 9.6, 10.1, 14.1 and 14.2 for Users, as well as undertaking their own Research Projects.
College of Biology and Medicine
The PX staff and facilities form part of the College of Biology and Medicine, which is a multidisciplinary team of scientists who are working on biological and medical problems, while exploiting the unique properties of the SRS.
SBL
In addition to the PX facilities, a Structural Biology Laboratory (SBL) is available for users to prepare their samples immediately before and during their allocated beamtime.
CCP4
The Collaborative Computing Project Number 4 (CCP4) is administered from Daresbury Laboratory. CCP4 supports an integrated suite of programs for protein crystallography.
