چکیده
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.

Development of a dose-limiting data collection strategy for serial synchrotron rotation crystallography
Serial crystallography, in which single-shot diffraction images are collected, has great potential for protein microcrystallography. Although serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) has been successfully demonstrated, limited beam time prevents its routine use. Inspired by SFX, serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) has been investigated at synchrotron macromolecular crystallography beamline...
متن کاملTowards RIP using free-electron laser SFX data.
Here, it is shown that simulated native serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) cathepsin B data can be phased by rapid ionization of sulfur atoms. Utilizing standard software adopted for radiation-damage-induced phasing (RIP), the effects on both substructure determination and phasing of the number of collected patterns and fluences are explored for experimental conditions already available a...
متن کاملSerial crystallography on in vivo grown microcrystals using synchrotron radiation
Crystal structure determinations of biological macromolecules are limited by the availability of sufficiently sized crystals and by the fact that crystal quality deteriorates during data collection owing to radiation damage. Exploiting a micrometre-sized X-ray beam, high-precision diffractometry and shutterless data acquisition with a pixel-array detector, a strategy for collecting data from ma...
متن کاملProtein–ligand complex structure from serial femtosecond crystallography using soaked thermolysin microcrystals and comparison with structures from synchrotron radiation
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) with an X-ray free-electron laser is used for the structural determination of proteins from a large number of microcrystals at room temperature. To examine the feasibility of pharmaceutical applications of SFX, a ligand-soaking experiment using thermolysin microcrystals has been performed using SFX. The results were compared with those from a conventiona...
متن کاملSerial millisecond crystallography of membrane and soluble protein microcrystals using synchrotron radiation
Crystal structure determination of biological macromolecules using the novel technique of serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) is severely limited by the scarcity of X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) sources. However, recent and future upgrades render microfocus beamlines at synchrotron-radiation sources suitable for room-temperature serial crystallography data collection also. Owing to the ...
