  1. Daresbury Laboratory BL10 2.4 T ESRF BM14 Phasing Monochromator BL 10 Exp. Hutch Insertion Device Supported by: North West Structural Genomics Centre http://www.nwsgc.ac.uk/ Introduction Structural Genomics is a new and rapidly growing interdisciplinary research aimed at extending the vast array of genomic sequence data with a comparable, systematic database of protein structures. Synchrotron Radiation based X-ray Crystallography is unique in providing very accurate high resolution structures of proteins and their complexes. Thus, translating genome sequence to large numbers of protein structures via high throughput approaches is of urgent and strategic importance for healthcare as well as for fundamental biology. In early 2000, a consortium of several groups in the North West of England proposed the establishment of a structure genomics centre (NWSGC). The NWSGC members have brought together expertise in X-ray protein crystallography, pathogens biology, membrane proteins, metalloproteins and thus initiated the structural genomics effort in the UK. In summer 2001 Leeds University Bioinformatics group joined the NWSGC, followed by Astex Technology of Cambridge in 2002. In July 2001, UK's research councils (BBSRC, EPSRC & MRC) funded a 5 year grantentitled "NW STRUCTURE GENOMICS CENTRE'S HIGH THROUGHPUT MAD BEAMLINE FOR PATHOGENS GENOMES”. The grant entitles the NWSGC 67% of the beam time. Our long-term aim is to form links with other genomics efforts in the UK. NWSGC has selected to join the International TB effort and has established close links with the RIKEN structural genomics programme. In June 2002, we have participated in two EOI’s for EU framework VI proposal; one entitled ‘Tuberculosis Drug Development’ and the other entitled ‘Structural Genomics of Metalloprotein 'Function and Mis-function'’. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis kills 2 million people each year. The global epidemic is growing and becoming more dangerous. The breakdown in health services, the spread of HIV/AIDS and the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB are contributing to the worsening impact of this disease. * Nearly one percent of the world's population is newly infected with TB each year. * Overall, one-third of the world's population is currently infected with the TB bacillus. * 5 - 10 percent of people who are infected with TB become sick or infectious at some time during their life. The members of the NWSGC have chosen targets from the TB genome which relate to projects they are currently undertaking and have a long term interest in.

The optical arrangement is optimised through a 100 micron collimator and for rapid tuneability and high energy resolution allowing data to be collected from small, weakly diffracting crystals over a wide range of wavelengths. It will be dedicated to MAD structure solution operating in the 4 to 14 keV photon energy range. A program of development will be undertaken with the aim of making the protein crystallography facilities as easy to use as possible. This includes automated sample changers, on line data processing and remote operation. The performance of NWSGC MAD 10 will be in the same order of magnitude of the very successful ESRF BM14. These characteristics are required for high throughput protein crystallography, where samples of unknown quality will arrive for screening and immediate data collection.
