The Structural Biology Program of the Office of Biological and
Environmental Research supports access to DOE’s national user facilities
for studies in structural biology. These user facilities are available to
academic, industrial, and government laboratory researchers.
The structural biology program provides support for beamlines and end stations
at the synchrotron light sources located at several National Laboratories:
User stations are supported at neutron beam facilities:
The Structural Biology Facility Program provides funding for the unique
Scanning Transmission Electron
Microscopy Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The program also contributes to the Federal government’s support
for the
Protein Data Bank, the international database
of three-dimensional structures of proteins, protein complexes, and other
biological macromolecules.
