Parameters affecting the X-ray dose absorbed by macromolecular crystals.
The lifetime of a macromolecular crystal in an X-ray beam is assumed to be limited by the absorbed dose. This dose, expressed in Gray (Gy = J kg(-1)), is a function of a number of parameters: the absorption coefficients of the constituent atoms of the crystal, the number of molecules per asymmetric unit, the beam energy, flux, size and profile, the crystal size, and the total irradiation time. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of X-ray absorbed dose in thyroid during CXR imaging of the chest by Monte Carlo simulation (DOSXYZnrc)
Abstract: Introduction: Chest radiography is one of the most common X-ray imaging procedures performed worldwide. During this process, in addition to the chest, other tissues, including the thyroid, are also exposed to radiation. Due to the fact that one of the most important risk factors for thyroid cancer is ionizing radiation, measuring the absorption of X- rays in the thyroid is of spec...
متن کاملSimulation of X-ray frames from macromolecular crystals using a ray-tracing approach.
An algorithm is described which simulates a data set obtained from a protein crystal using the rotation method. The diffraction pattern of an ideal crystal is specified by the orientation of the crystal's cell axes with respect to a specified laboratory coordinate system, the distance between the crystal and the detector, the wavelength and the rotation range per frame. However, a realistic sim...
متن کاملX - Ray Weak , Heavily Absorbed Balqso ?
We present Chandra observations of the radio-quiet Broad Absorption Line (BAL) QSO PG 1254+047. We find that it is a weak X-ray source, with a total of 44 ± 7 photons measured in 36 ksec across the observed energy range 0.7 − 6.0 keV. Its X-ray weakness is consistent with the known correlation between αox and the strength of the UV absorption lines. The spectral energy distribution suggests tha...
