The Collaborative Computational Project Number 4 in Protein Crystallography was set
up in 1979 to support collaboration between researchers working on method and
software development for Protein Crystallography in the UK. It soon expanded to
become a global example of collaboration and has been one of the contributory
factor for Biological Crystallography. Since 1998 ACTA CRYST D is publishing latest
efforts that are reported at the annual CCP4 study weekends.

World’s first dedicated
Synchrotron X-ray Source.
Came Operational in 1980 and
closed in October 2008.

30 years from NINA SRF
World’s largest storage ring started (Spring-8 in Japan)
50 years since the first observation of SR
JSR, 4, 315 (1997)
Many of us discussed privately at the time
that SR world had expanded beyond our
imagination but the ultimate prize had not
yet come and the cost of super-rings was
getting high. PX had produced another prize
in 1988, 14 years after Dorothy Hodgkins
and 16 years after Perutz & Kendrew.
SESAME = Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in
the Middle East
(2.5 GeV light source). A major facility, under construction near Amman.
