In situ macromolecular crystallography using microbeams
Despite significant progress in high-throughput methods in macromolecular crystallography, the production of diffraction-quality crystals remains a major bottleneck. By recording diffraction in situ from crystals in their crystallization plates at room temperature, a number of problems associated with crystal handling and cryoprotection can be side-stepped. Using a dedicated goniometer installe...
متن کاملUnderstanding Radiation Damage to Cells Using Microbeams
Cellular micro-irradiation using ion beams is now recognised as a highly versatile technique for understanding how ionising radiation interacts with living cells and tissues. The strength of the micro-irradiation technique lies in its ability to deliver precise doses of radiation to selected individual cells (or sub-cellular targets) in vitro. The application of this technique in the field of r...
متن کاملDiffraction cartography: applying microbeams to macromolecular crystallography sample evaluation and data collection.
Crystals of biological macromolecules often exhibit considerable inter-crystal and intra-crystal variation in diffraction quality. This requires the evaluation of many samples prior to data collection, a practice that is already widespread in macromolecular crystallography. As structural biologists move towards tackling ever more ambitious projects, new automated methods of sample evaluation wi...
متن کاملMicrobeams of heavy charged particles.
We have established a single cell irradiation system, which allows selected cells to be individually hit with defined number of heavy charged particles, using a collimated heavy-ion microbeam apparatus at JAERI-Takasaki. This system has been developed to study radiobiological processes in hit cells and bystander cells exposed to low dose and low dose-rate high-LET radiations, in ways that canno...
متن کاملMeasuring fracture toughness of coatings using FIB-machined microbeams
D. Di Maio and S. G. Roberts Department of Materials, University of Oxford, UK keywords: toughness, coating, nanoindentation. Abstract Measuring the toughness of brittle coatings has always been a difficult task. Coatings are often too thin to easily prepare a freestanding sample of a defined geometry in order to use standard toughness measuring techniques. Using standard indentation techniques...
