Abstracts

EN

The status and vision for Structural Biology at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) is presented. The beamlines that have been described in the paper represent a Canadian national resource that is available to science and industry world-wide. They include state-of-the-art infrastructure and include specialized capabilities, many of which are not available elsewhere, including macromolecular crystallography, biological X-ray spectroscopy, soft X-ray spectromicroscopy, as well as small angle and wide angle X-ray scattering beamlines. The vision for Structural Biology at the Canadian Light Source is significantly enhanced by the synergies and collaborations between the users of the different beamlines and by the strengths of the scientific personnel and trainees.
