Vince Carbone and Linley Schofield will be visiting the Australian Synchrotron on the 18th of December in an effort to obtain high quality X-ray diffraction data. Previous visits to the Synchrotron have been highly successful, with typically nearly 100 enzyme crystals screened for their suitability to collect data and nearly 20 full X-ray diffractions sets obtained. The Australian Synchrotron has offered AgResearch and its funders the opportunity to showcase their research in an Australian Synchrotron ‘case study’ (http://industry.synchrotron.org.au/case-study). This would not involve the release of any IP, and would only provide a general story line about describing how we go about developing inhibitors of methanogens using enzyme crystal structures .  This represents a chance to highlight the PGgRc-NZAGRC research program at a high-tech facility in Australasia. We have put the case study report through the PGgRc-NZAGRC ROI system.
