Structural biology research groups located in India constitute the INDIA-BAG and will utilize MX & SAXS to study different biological macromolecules. The non-proprietary agreement signed between ESRF and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) enables studies that provide fundamental mechanistic insight regarding different biological processes. A brief description of over 50 research groups is provided in the global summary and a summary of their research contributions involving data collected at ESRF is provided in the 2 year BAG report. The ESRF-India partnership is supported by a single grant provided to the RCB by the DBT. Please note that a report listing no. of shifts utilized, details of users and the research output from these visits has to be sent to the DBT to obtain release of funds to pay ESRF membership dues. Consequently, all the structural biologists from India are grouped in a single BAG to enable monitoring of progress to collect the required statistics.
