CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- October 2007 <-- 01 October 2007Subject: CCP4 needs your help, clarifications From: Jim Naismith naismith {- at -} ST-ANDREWS {- dot -} AC {- dot -} UK Date: 2007-10-01 International support is extremely welcome. Commercial organization support is extremely welcome. In fact both of these are essential and will count for more than UK academics. ANY letter of support from ANYONE is welcome. Step change, paradigm shifting are anglosaxon phrases that grant agencies use for politicians. I used them slightly tongue in cheek (meaning half in jest). I cannot write your letters of support nor provide templates. The committee I think will be most impressed by your words. My suggestion is to right honestly about what you feel as to how these four aims could help your research. The committee will I hope be impressed by what research you do or plan to and the role of CCP4 in it. The aims to summarize again (1) Working at low resolution, auto refining difficult low resolution structure (2) Processing split crystals, weak diffraction and adapting MOSFLM to new Pilatus detectors (3) Designing intelligent systems to solve, refine and analyze structures based on the data in hand rather than flow chart. Helping biologists do the best job with their data. (4) Supporting users in installation, training and communication. My hope is that if we get the next five years right CCP4 will help you do important things in biology, chemistry and medicine. If you think so too, then your support is most welcome.
