      <title>Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction Facility - School of Biosciences</title>
      <link>http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/x-ray/index.aspx</link>
      <description>The School of Biosciences features a new, state-of-the-art X-ray diffraction facility for proteins. The facility includes a new-generation microfocus rotating anode generator and a CCD chip-based area detector for rapid data acquisition. Protein crystallisation, largely a trial-and-error process, is often hampered by the scarcity of pure protein.  With the aid of a liquid handling robot, capable of dispensing nano-litre volumes, the number of potential growth conditions can be vastly extended, enhancing the chance of success and rendering possible the crystallisation of difficult proteins or protein complexes.</description>
