BioXHIT:

Topics included whether or not CCP4 should form joint proposal with York or SR department at DL. Seemed clear that CCP4 should be joined with DL as a preference. Colin gave overview of his proposal: E600,000 with E300,000 for crystallisation and E300,000 for data collection, with standard robotics and LIMS to control it. 1 RA for 3 years to run crystallisation and 1 RA for 2 years to run LIMS and data collection (just SR department).

CCP4 at DL:

3 projects:

Development of CCP4i database and server to run the database and implementation of tracking, data retrieval, etc. with standalone database system that supports CCP4i and external applications.

LIMS development: potential development of MOLE(?)

Automation within CCP4. Development of libraries and programs, development of automation, scripts and controller.

Other suggestions from York: Combination of Phasing and Molecular Replacement, high-level tracking and combination of refinement and validation.
