Structural enzymology using X-ray free electron lasers [PDF]
Structural Dynamics, 2017 Mix-and-inject serial crystallography (MISC) is a technique designed to image enzyme catalyzed reactions in which small protein crystals are mixed with a substrate just prior to being probed by an X-ray pulse. This approach offers several advantages over

Single-particle imaging by x-ray free-electron lasers-How many snapshots are needed? [PDF]
Struct Dyn, 2020 X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) open the possibility of obtaining diffraction information from a single biological macromolecule. This is because XFELs can generate extremely intense x-ray pulses that are so short that diffraction data can be ...
