The Gamification of XFEL Education Using XFEL Crystal Blaster

Crystals, 2022
Novel groundbreaking techniques, such as serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX), which utilizes X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), have led to impressive advances in the field of structural biology. However, educating the next generation of scientists on this complex, advanced, and continuously evolving field can be challenging.

Advances in long-wavelength native phasing at X-ray free-electron lasers

IUCrJ, 2020
Long-wavelength pulses from the Swiss X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) have been used for de novo protein structure determination by native single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (native-SAD) phasing of serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) data.

Characterizing crystalline defects in single nanoparticles from angular correlations of single-shot diffracted X-rays

IUCrJ, 2020
Characterizing and controlling the uniformity of nanoparticles is crucial for their application in science and technology because crystalline defects in the nanoparticles strongly affect their unique properties.

Single-particle imaging by x-ray free-electron lasers—How many snapshots are needed?

Structural Dynamics, 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 ...

Microsecond hydrodynamic interactions in dense colloidal dispersions probed at the European XFEL

IUCrJ, 2021
Many soft-matter systems are composed of macromolecules or nanoparticles suspended in water. The characteristic times at intrinsic length scales of a few nanometres fall therefore in the microsecond and sub-microsecond time regimes.

FAST-XPD: XFEL photon pulses database for modeling XFEL experiments [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
Knowledge of different properties of the radiation from X-ray FEL is very important for planning experiments. An understanding of such properties can come from start-to-end simulations of experiments: modern FEL simulation allows to reliably predict the output radiation pulses from X-ray FEL.

Harnessing the power of an X-ray laser for serial crystallography of membrane proteins crystallized in lipidic cubic phase

IUCrJ, 2020
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) with X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has proven highly successful for structure determination of challenging membrane proteins crystallized in lipidic cubic phase; however, like most techniques, it has ...

Unsupervised learning approaches to characterizing heterogeneous samples using X-ray single-particle imaging

IUCrJ, 2022
One of the outstanding analytical problems in X-ray single-particle imaging (SPI) is the classification of structural heterogeneity, which is especially difficult given the low signal-to-noise ratios of individual patterns and the fact that even ...
