The Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography Facility houses a state-of-the-art rotating anode/imaging plate X-ray crystallography data collection suite, a cryosystem, and a collection of Apple, SGI and Linux computer workstations and software for crystallographic computations, molecular visualization, and model building. The facility is supervised by Professors Harry Noller and Bill Scott (Dept. of MCD Biology, Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry). UCSC scientists have used the facility to investigate the structure of the ribosome, catalytic RNA ("ribozymes"), and a variety of protein structures, including systems that diffract to subatomic resolution. Users of the facility also collaborate with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Light Source synchrotron radiation facility and the Stanford Synchrotron Light Source.
