ALS-ENABLE goes to the ACA
The ALS was well represented at the ACA in Toronto this year. Great to see so many users there!
Team picture
We managed to get almost everyone to pose for a shot using Paul’s awesome camera. Note the ALS dome in the background!
USDA project
Members of the ALS-ENABLE team are working with the US Department of Agriculture on crystallizing and solving the structure of uronate dehydrogenase (UDH) variants generated using genetic engineering techniques. The overall objective of the work is to determine ways to turn agricultural waste biomass into useful chemicals. The sugar substrates for this enzyme type are a class of compounds which are left after citrus and sugar beet processing.
Initial crystallization attempts have been successful by the ALS-ENABLE team, and excellent data has been collected. Structure solution in progress!

P30 efforts have begun
October, 2017
The ALS-ENABLE team was very excited to receive news that our P30 grant was funded. This grant brings together all the crystallography and small-angle scattering beamlines and scientists at the ALS into one unified group so as to better serve our users efficiently and productively. We have much to accomplish and are eager to get started!
