چکیده
A protein structure has been refined with electron diffraction data obtained by using a very weak electron beam to collect large numbers of diffraction patterns from a few sub-micron-sized three-dimensional crystals.

Coalescence of Nanoclusters and Formation of Submicron Crystallites Assisted by Lactobacillus Strains
Lactobacillus strains, common in buttermilk, assist the growth of gold, silver, and gold-silver alloy crystals of submicron dimensions upon exposure to the precursor ions. Several well-defined crystal morphologies are observed. Crystal growth occurs by the coalescence of clusters, and tens of crystals are found within the bacterial contour. Crystal growth does not affect the viability of the ba...
متن کاملPhase Transformation and Intense 2.7 μm Emission from Er3+ Doped YF3/YOF Submicron-crystals
Yttrium fluoride YF3:Er(3+) and yttrium oxyfluoride YOF:Er(3+) submicron-crystals with mid-infrared fluorescent emissions were synthesized for the first time. The rhombohedral phase YOF submicron-crystals were synthesized by the crystalline phase transformation from pure orthorhombic YF3 submicron-crystals, which were prepared by co-precipitation method. The composition and morphology were char...
متن کاملAcoustic transfer of protein crystals from agarose pedestals to micromeshes for high-throughput screening
Acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) is an emerging technology with broad applications in serial crystallography such as growing, improving and manipulating protein crystals. One application of this technology is to gently transfer crystals onto MiTeGen micromeshes with minimal solvent. Once mounted on a micromesh, each crystal can be combined with different chemicals such as crystal-improving addit...
متن کاملLaser-Microdissection of Protein Crystals Down to Submicron Dimensions
We studied laser-microdissection of standard and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) nanotemplate protein crystals in glycerol solution. The time required for microdissection was significantly longer for LB-crystals as compared to standardcrystals which also more rapidly dissolve. Microfragmentation of lysozyme crystals was observed after extended solvent exposure. Synchrotron radiation nanobeam mapping all...
متن کاملSubmicron three-dimensional infrared GaAsÕAlxOy-based photonic crystal using single-step epitaxial growth
A relatively simple technique is demonstrated to fabricate three-dimensional face-centered-cubic infrared photonic crystals with submicron feature sizes using GaAs-based technology, single-step epitaxial growth, and lateral wet oxidation. The photonic crystals were fabricated with feature sizes ~a! of 1.5 and 0.5 mm. Transmission measurements reveal a stopband centered at 1.0 mm with a maximum ...
