Macromolecular crystallography beamline X25 at the NSLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Beamline X25 at the NSLS is one of the five beamlines dedicated to macromolecular crystallography operated by the Brookhaven National Laboratory Macromolecular Crystallography Research Resource group. This mini-gap insertion-device beamline has seen constant upgrades for the last seven years in order to achieve mini-beam capability down to 20 µm × 20 µm. All major components beginning with the radiation source, and continuing along the beamline and its experimental hutch, have changed to produce a state-of-the-art facility for the scientific community.

Beamline X29: a novel undulator source for X-ray crystallography.
A high-flux insertion device and beamline for macromolecular crystallography has been built at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) that employs a mini-gap undulator source developed by the NSLS. The mini-gap undulator at beamline X29 is a hybrid-magnet device of period 12.5 mm operating at proven gaps of 3.3-10 mm. The beamline provides hard X-rays for macromolecular crystallography ex...
متن کاملSingle-crystal Raman spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography at beamline X26-C of the NSLS
Three-dimensional structures derived from X-ray diffraction of protein crystals provide a wealth of information. Features and interactions important for the function of macromolecules can be deduced and catalytic mechanisms postulated. Still, many questions can remain, for example regarding metal oxidation states and the interpretation of `mystery density', i.e. ambiguous or unknown features wi...

The Gulf Coast Protein Crystallography Consortium (GCPCC) is developing a beamline at the LSU/CAMD synchrotron. This beamline will be capable of standard macromolecular multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing experiments over an energy range of 7-17.5 keV. The optical configuration uses a vertical collimating mirror, a channel-cut Si (111) monochromator and a focusing toroidal m...

متن کاملThe ID23-2 structural biology microfocus beamline at the ESRF
The first phase of the ESRF beamline ID23 to be constructed was ID23-1, a tunable MAD-capable beamline which opened to users in early 2004. The second phase of the beamline to be constructed is ID23-2, a monochromatic microfocus beamline dedicated to macromolecular crystallography experiments. Beamline ID23-2 makes use of well characterized optical elements: a single-bounce silicon (111) monoch...
