The Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility (CMCF) is a suite of two beamlines 08ID-1 and 08B1-1. Beamline 08B1-1 is a bending-magnet beamline for high-throughput macromolecular crystallography enabling Multiple-Wavelength Anomalous Dispersion (MAD) and Single-Wavelength Anomalous Dispersion (SAD) experiments with a high level of automation. The primary method of access to CMCF 08B1-1 will be remote, in what is commonly referred to in the field as ‘Mail-in Crystallography’. We are developing a software system for automating the beamlines, with modules for beamline control, experiment control, data analysis, information management, and graphical user interaction. The system is developed using the Python programming language and makes use of popular open-source frameworks such as Twisted, Django and GTK. Once completed, the system will allow complete and supervised automation of the macromolecular crystallography experiment from experiment setup to data analysis, thereby increasing the efficiency of the CMCF beamlines and reducing the need for user travel to the synchrotron.
