Micro-structured polymer fixed targets for serial crystallography at synchrotrons and XFELs

IUCrJ, 2023
Fixed targets are a popular form of sample-delivery system used in serial crystallography at synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser sources. They offer a wide range of sample-preparation options and are generally easy to use. The supports are typically made from silicon, quartz or polymer.

A Multi‐Stimuli Transformational Network of Benzil‐Based Pd(II) Assemblies

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Incorporation of a flexible and chemically reactive benzil backbone into the ligand structure allows it to access multiple conformations, enabling the formation of diverse homo‐ and heteroleptic Pd(II) assemblies with different nuclearities and topologies.

Standard Sample Preparation for Serial Femtosecond Crystallography

Biomolecules
The development of serial crystallography (SX), including serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) at synchrotron sources and serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), has facilitated the collection of high ...

Pink-beam serial crystallography

Nature Communications, 2017
Serial X-ray crystallography (SX) is used for data collection at X-ray Free Electron Lasers. Here the authors show that a polychromatic “pink” synchrotron X-ray beam can be used for SX, which is useful when crystal supply is limited and will allow time ...

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...

Creating Ti–Fe α/β Alloys by Diffusion‐Driven Solid‐State Processing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes making alloys containing fast diffusing elements that are difficult to produce by ingot metallurgy, by diffusion‐driven solid‐state HIP processing of elemental powders and low‐temperature homogenisation. Here, novel Fe‐Ti α–β alloys are formed having fine α–β lamellae, a small β prior grain size without significant intermetallics ...

Precipitation Simulations of the O‐Phase in Ti2AlNb Alloys Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Simulated and experimental evolution of the O‐phase volume fraction during postprocessing of a Ti‐21Al‐25Nb (at.%) alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion. With results of sensitivity to input parameters from a thorough and quantified analysis, the interfacial energy matrix/precipitate is the most relevant input parameter for the simulation of the O‐
