Automation of sample mounting for macromolecular crystallography.
A standard sample holder and vial for cryocooled macromolecular crystals has been defined for use with robotic sample changers. This SPINE standard sample holder is a modified version, with added features and specifications, of sample holders in common use. In particular, the SPINE standard meets the precision required for automatic sample exchange and includes a cap that is identified by a two...
متن کاملTowards a compact and precise sample holder for macromolecular crystallography
Most of the sample holders currently used in macromolecular crystallography offer limited storage density and poor initial crystal-positioning precision upon mounting on a goniometer. This has now become a limiting factor at high-throughput beamlines, where data collection can be performed in a matter of seconds. Furthermore, this lack of precision limits the potential benefits emerging from au...
متن کاملStrategies for macromolecular synchrotron crystallography.
Introduction During the past ten years the rate of protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography has risen about tenfold [1]. The use of synchrotron radiation was instrumental for this growth and the fraction of the results obtained this way increased from 28% in 1990 to 80% in 1999 (Figure 1). There are 52 synchrotron stations worldwide used for macromolecular crystallography, and t...
متن کاملMacromolecular Crystallography at Chess
CHESS activity report F many years, most synchrotron stations for crystallography, such as CHESS A1, used X-ray sensitive film as the primary detector and xray radiation at about 8 keV (1.5 Å). Two years ago CHESS constructed station F1 on a wiggler line that is tuneable from about 7-14 keV. In practice, this station operates with a standard energy of 0.91 Å. The benefits of using higher energi...
متن کاملGraphical tools for macromolecular crystallography in PHENIX
A new Python-based graphical user interface for the PHENIX suite of crystallography software is described. This interface unifies the command-line programs and their graphical displays, simplifying the development of new interfaces and avoiding duplication of function. With careful design, graphical interfaces can be displayed automatically, instead of being manually constructed. The resulting ...
