Automated data processing on beamline FIP (BM30A) at ESRF.
Automation of protein crystallography synchrotron beamlines is becoming necessary to face challenging structural genomics projects. In this context, a program has been developed that processes diffraction frames using popular software but analyzes statistics and makes choices the way crystallographers usually do. This program includes the classical peak search, indexing, integration, scaling and anomalous signal analysis. The result, comparable with that obtained by standard users, is rapidly available, providing the required information for a more efficient use of the beam time.
