Serial crystallography at synchrotrons and X-ray lasers
Serial crystallography was developed for the use at free-electron lasers but the approach has recently also been adapted to synchrotron sources. Here we discuss how the synergy between the two X-ray sources will facilitate a wide application of the technique in microcrystallography, room-temperature structure determination and time-resolved studies.
متن کاملSerial crystallography using synchrotron radiation
A brief history is given of how X-ray diffraction data from crystals have been recorded. Today there are new possibilities, spawned by the availability of free electron lasers that produce powerful femtosecond long X-ray pulses.
متن کاملLiquid sample delivery techniques for serial femtosecond crystallography.
X-ray free-electron lasers overcome the problem of radiation damage in protein crystallography and allow structure determination from micro- and nanocrystals at room temperature. To ensure that consecutive X-ray pulses do not probe previously exposed crystals, the sample needs to be replaced with the X-ray repetition rate, which ranges from 120 Hz at warm linac-based free-electron lasers to 1 M...
متن کاملExperimental phasing of serial femtosecond crystallography data
A synopsis of and prospects for de novo phasing using diffraction data collected at X-ray free-electron lasers are given.
متن کاملLow-dose fixed-target serial synchrotron crystallography
The development of serial crystallography has been driven by the sample requirements imposed by X-ray free-electron lasers. Serial techniques are now being exploited at synchrotrons. Using a fixed-target approach to high-throughput serial sampling, it is demonstrated that high-quality data can be collected from myoglobin crystals, allowing room-temperature, low-dose structure determination. The...
