Phasing coherently illuminated nanocrystals bounded by partial unit cells
31 Dec 2012 | Publications | Contributor(s): R. Kirian, R. Bean, K. Beyerlein, O. Yevanof, T. White, A. Barty, Henry Chapman
With the use of highly coherent femtosecond X-ray pulses from a free-electron laser, it is possible to record protein nanocrystal diffraction patterns with far more information than is present in conventional crystallographic diffraction data. It has been suggested that diffraction phases may be …

Small Angle X-Ray Scattering as a Complementary Tool for High-Throughput Structural Studies
21 May 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): Tom Grant, Edward Snell
Structural crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are the predominant techniques for understanding the biological world on a molecular level. Crystallography is constrained by the ability to form a crystal that diffracts well and NMR is constrained to smaller proteins. …

Career Trends: Exploring Careers Beyond the Bench
20 Jan 2015 | Publications
Last month, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) released a report* with some grim news that confirmed what is painfully obvious to recent Ph.D. graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields: Unemployment for this cohort is on the rise (at 2.4% in 2010, up …

Lipidic cubic phase injector facilitates membrane protein serial femtosecond crystallography.
15 Apr 2015 | Publications
Lipidic cubic phase (LCP) crystallization has proven successful for high-resolution structure determination of challenging membrane proteins. Here we present a technique for extruding gel-like LCP with embedded membrane protein microcrystals, providing a continuously renewed source of material for …
