A multiwire area detector system will be acquired to serve as a                 rapid method for recording X-ray diffraction data from single                   crystals of proteins and nucleic acids.  The system includes a                  multiwire area detector chamber, a full-circle goniometer,                      graphite monochromator, mounting modifications for a rotating-                  anode X-ray generator and a 400 megabyte disk drive  for a VAX II               Station for data acquisition and processing.  The equipment will                be used for crystallographic analysis of macromolecular                         structures as part of current biological research problems                      relevant to plant science, molecular biology, cell biology                      biotechnology.  The projects include:  (1) protein elongation                   factor complexes and related G proteins, (2) nucleic acid-binding               proteins and protein-nucleic acid complexes, (3) mono- and                      polysaccharide processing proteins, (4) glycoproteins, (5) serum                transport proteins and (6) agriculturally-related proteins.  The                area detector will allow fragile crystals to be examined as well                as facilitate more rapid data collection, and permit a molecular                level of understanding for significant biological questions.
