Advanced Light Source Beamline 8.2.2

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) protein crystallography beamlines at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) were fully commissioned in 2003. Since that time they have grown tremendously in the size of their user community and in their versatility, becoming two of the most productive crystallography beamlines conducting biomedical research at national synchrotron light sources. The ALS is a research facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. One of the world's brightest sources of ultraviolet and soft x-ray light, the ALS is the first "third-generation" synchrotron light source in its energy range, providing multiple extremely bright sources of intense and coherent short-wavelength light for use in scientific experiments by researchers from around the world. The ALS serves about 2,000 researchers every year from academic, industrial, and government laboratories worldwide. Experiments at the ALS are performed at nearly 40 beamlines that can operate simultaneously over 5000 hours per year, resulting in about 600 scientific publications annually in a wide variety of fields.
