Biologists Driving Synchrotron Use Rate

Life scientists (some 2400 of 6000) accounted for 40% of the users of the four DOE synchrotron light sources in 2000, according to DOE Associate Director for Biological and Environmental Research Ari Patrinos. Because of this demand, as many as 15 new synchrotron stations for protein crystallography are expected to open in the United States alone by 2003, and more stations are under consideration. If half the protein crystallography stations were devoted to high-throughput structure determination, Patrinos estimated, 30,000 such structures could be generated each year.
