Design of the 08ID-1 Protein Crystallography Beamline at the Canadian Light Source

Abstract

We describe the design of the Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility 08ID-1 protein crystallography beamline that is being built at the Canadian Light Source. An in-vacuum small gap undulator will illuminate thebeamline providing high X-ray brilliance and beam properties available at the Canadian Light Source that will allow studying small crystals (> 20 μm) and crystals with large cell dimensions (< 1000 A). The planned automation of the beamline will allow for its remote usage.
