X-ray Crystallography Shared Resource Facility
The Structural Biology X-ray Crystallography Core facility is fully equipped for biomolecular crystallization, crystal screening, data collection, data processing, structure-determination and model building. The Rigaku/MSC Crystallization Robotics include: an Alchemist liquid handling robot for optimization screen production, a Phoenix drop setting robot, 2 Desktop Minstrel imaging units, and a plate hotel that are all networked and integrated with Crystal trak software, and an SPT Labtech mosquito Xtal-3 drop setting robot with humidifying chamber. The home source is composed of a Rigaku Micromax 007 high frequency microfocus X-ray generator, a VariMax high flux optic with adjustable divergence, an AFC11 4-axis goniometer, a Pilatus 200K 2D area detector, and an Oxford Cobra cryo-system. HKL-3000R is used for data collection and processing and is run on a Linux CentOS Dell Precision Workstation.
