CORE FACILITIES--DIFFRACTION AND COMPUTING

核心实验室为耶鲁大学结构生物学中心的所有成员提供了用X射线结晶学和X射线小角散射研究大分子体系的设施，包括数据收集仪器和数据简化和分析计算机。由于分子图形学对这些活动至关重要，核心实验室包括几个这样的系统，并正在不断升级其在这一领域和所有其他令人关注的领域的能力。除了向核心实验室的用户提供服务，包括仪器和计算机维护以及这两种设备的帮助外，核心工作人员还开发新的仪器和程序。CSB网站使用户能够访问通常对结构生物学家有用的程序和数据库，以及文件，这是最近一个核心实验室发展的例子，对耶鲁内外的结构生物学社区都有用。

The CORE laboratory provides all members of the Yale Center for Structural Biology facilities for the investigation of macromolecular systems by X-ray crystallography and X-ray small-angle scattering, including instruments for data collection and computers for data reduction and analysis. Since molecular graphics is vital to these activities, the CORE laboratory includes several such systems and is constantly upgrading its capabilities in this and all other areas of concern. In addition to the services it supplies to the users of the CORE laboratory, which includes instrument and computer maintenance and help with both kinds of devices, the CORE staff develops new instruments and procedures. The CSB web site, which enables users to access the programs and data bases that are generally useful to structural biologists, with documentation, is a recent example of a CORE laboratory development useful to the structural biology community both inside and outside Yale.
