The SX 700 monochromator is having serious problems, because a power amplifier for the mirror motor is out of order. The card cannot be repaired here, and since it is more than 10 years old, it is not simple to find a replacement. Until the card is fixed or replaced, the SX 700 is out of operation.
The UV1 monochromator is running well, and SVH reports that following a careful line-up, spectra with a good resolution have been recorded. The hardware for the sample chamber will be ready later this week.
ELISA has started to run Fullerenes. This will continue for the next 3 weeks.
A NorFA Research Training Course on Application of X-ray Synchrotron Radiation in Chemistry, Biology and Physics will be held at Sandbjerg June 24 to July 1. More information on http://www.chem.au.dk/sandsync .
A study circle on biomolecules is held every Tuesday in 525-323. The oxygen-transporting proteins myoglobin and
hemoglobin are the topic for the lecture today (at 14:15). Keywords: the heme group, allosteric interactions, the Bohr effect,
protein dynamics (monitored by vibrational spectroscopy).
