Towards pump–probe single-crystal XFEL refinements for small-unit-cell systems
Serial femtosecond crystallography for small-unit-cell systems has so far seen very limited application despite obvious scientific possibilities. This is because reliable data reduction has not been available for these challenging systems. In particular,

Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser. [PDF]
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal primarily through G proteins or arrestins. Arrestin binding to GPCRs blocks G protein interaction and redirects signalling to numerous G-protein-independent pathways.

Entering an era of dynamic structural biology…
A recent paper in BMC Biology presents a general method for mix-and-inject serial crystallography, to facilitate the visualization of enzyme intermediates via time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (tr-SFX).

Serial crystallography is just getting started [PDF]
When serial crystallography at XFELs was first being developed, it was unclear how it should best be used. Early experiments included studying single crystals, or weak or small crystals, or sample delivery methods that over used crystal material or under

High-Resolution Protein Structure Determination by Serial Femtosecond Crystallography [PDF]
Size Matters Less X-ray crystallography is a central research tool for uncovering the structures of proteins and other macromolecules. However, its applicability typically requires growth of large crystals, in part because a sufficient number of molecules must be present in the lattice for the sample to withstand ...

Cooperative allostery and structural dynamics of streptavidin at cryogenic- and ambient-temperature
Ayan et al. report two structures of the protein streptavidin - one at ambient temperature determined using serial femtosecond crystallography and a second one determined at cryogenic temperature.

Time-resolved structural studies with serial crystallography: A new light on retinal proteins
Structural information of the different conformational states of the two prototypical light-sensitive membrane proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and rhodopsin, has been obtained in the past by X-ray cryo-crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy.

Towards the spatial resolution of metalloprotein charge states by detailed modeling of XFEL crystallographic diffraction. [PDF]
Oxidation states of individual metal atoms within a metalloprotein can be assigned by examining X-ray absorption edges, which shift to higher energy for progressively more positive valence numbers.

Continuous Diffraction of Molecules and Disordered Molecular Crystals [PDF]
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the continuous diffracted
