Abstract:
Research at synchrotron radiation facilities, once the domain of high energy physics, now has a major impact on fields as diverse as immunology, neurobiology, physiology, molecular biology, medicine and biotechnology. This article describes the development of a comprehensive synchrotron portal and informational website (http://www.biosync.sdsc.edu) for biologists engaged in research at synchrotrons. The site automatically provides timely and accurate information in a unified format by gathering technical descriptions of synchrotron beamlines using modern information management practices.
