PRTs (participating research teams, groups of researchers from one or more institutions) construct and operate beamlines at ALS and have primary responsibility for experiment endstation equipment. They are entitled to a percentage of the beamline's operating time based on the resources the PRT contributed to the beamline.

About Structural Biology at ALS
Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BCSB)
A national user facility serving over 750 scientists, representing 160 different research groups. The Center has five beamlines optimized for macromolecular protein crystallography (5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 8.2.1 and 8.2.2)
Molecular Biology Consortium (MBC)
A consortium of academic institutions whose molecular biologists require macromolecular crystallographic information for their research. MBC operates beamline 4.2.2
SIBYLS: Structurally Integrated Biology for Life Scienes
Our LBL X-ray beamline (12.3.1) is called Sibyls - for Structurally-Integrated BiologY for Life Sciences. The Sibyls misssion is high-impact insights, not high throughput numbers.
