Abstract

iNEXT, 'Infrastructure for NMR, EM and X-rays for Translational research', is a EC-funded Horizon 2020 network of national infrastructures aiming to facilitate EC- supported, trans-national user access to several high-end structural biology infrastructures and to expand the use of structural biology technologies towards new research communities. iNEXT has developed different access routes offering cutting edge technologies and expertise, thus targeting the diverse needs of research groups that desire to perform X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, solution or solid-state NMR, single particle or cell tomography electron microscopy, biophysics, and imaging experiments. Specific Joint Research Activities aim at improving the user experience in ever advancing methods, and are focused on structure-based drug discovery, membrane protein characterization and structural cell biology initiatives.

This manuscript is meant to be just a glance at the opportunities made available, and being implemented, by the iNEXT Consortium to the European scientific community. Thus, it is obviously far from being a complete description of all the activities that have and are being carried out in the frame of the iNEXT project. I acknowledge all Partners and Users for making the iNEXT project successful, and Marc Baldus, Rolf Boelens, Franciso Javier Chichón, Irina Cornaciu, Enrico Luchinat, Frank Löhr, Christian Loew, José Antonio Márquez, Haydyn Mertens, Francesca Morelli, Anastassis Perrakis, Marie Renault, Christian Richter, Harald Schwalbe, Sridhar Sreeramulu, Dmitri Svergun and Hans Wienk for supporting me in writing this review. This work has been supported by iNEXT, grant number 653706, funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission.
