Structural Biology Platform, John Innes Centre

We provide pre-aliquoted screens for the setup of protein crystallisation trials using crystallisation robots; a plate imager is used to screen these experiments, allowing the rapid identification of suitable crystallisation conditions. The Platform has regular access to beamlines at the Diamond Light Source for X-ray data collection, and can assist with data collection, processing and analysis. The Structural Biology Platform provides computing resources and expertise for the processing and analysis of cryo-EM data, which are obtained at the JIC Bioimaging platform or through regular access to microscopes at the electron BioImaging Centre for high resolution data collection.
