A Bright Future for Serial Femtosecond Crystallography with XFELs. [PDF]
X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) have the potential to revolutionize macromolecular structural biology due to the unique combination of spatial coherence, extreme peak brilliance, and short duration of X-ray pulses. A recently emerged serial femtosecond (fs) crystallography (SFX) approach using XFEL radiation overcomes some of the biggest hurdles of ...

Atomic resolution structure of serine protease proteinase K at ambient temperature [PDF]
Atomic resolution structures (beyond 1.20 ?) at ambient temperature, which is usually hampered by the radiation damage in synchrotron X-ray crystallography (SRX), will add to our understanding of the structure-function relationships of enzymes.

Serial femtosecond crystallography opens new avenues for Structural Biology [PDF]
Free electron lasers (FELs) provide X-ray pulses in the femtosecond time domain with up to 10(12) higher photon flux than synchrotrons and open new avenues for the determination of difficult to crystallize proteins, like large complexes and human membrane proteins.

Native sulfur/chlorine SAD phasing for serial femtosecond crystallography [PDF]
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) allows structures to be determined with minimal radiation damage. However, phasing native crystals in SFX is not very common. Here, the structure determination of native lysozyme from single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) by utilizing the anomalous signal of sulfur and chlorine at a wavelength of 1.77 Å ...

Photoreversible interconversion of a phytochrome photosensory module in the crystalline state. [PDF]
A major barrier to defining the structural intermediates that arise during the reversible photointerconversion of phytochromes between their biologically inactive and active states has been the lack of crystals that faithfully undergo this transition ...
