The Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (BioCAT) is an x-ray facility
located at the Advanced Photon
Source (APS) at Argonne National
Laboratory (ANL). It is funded by the
National Institutes of Health
(NIH) to study the structure and dynamics of partially ordered biological
systems.
BioCAT is a member of Illinois Institute of Technology's (IIT) Center for Synchrotron Radiation Research and Instrumentation (CSSRI). |

 The Correct Signals to
Regulate Assembly in Bacteria “You are what you eat” is
just another way of saying that input determines output, after some
metabolic messing around in between. It's the “in between”
that interests biologists, because that is where the difference between
healthy and diseased cells can originate. Using the BioCAT 18 ID
beam-line at the APS, researchers were able to describe---in stunning
detail---a novel two-component mechanism for assembling a protein
associated with bacterial transcription.
