Visualization of membrane protein crystals in lipid cubic phase using X-ray imaging
The focus in macromolecular crystallography is moving towards even more challenging target proteins that often crystallize on much smaller scales and are frequently mounted in opaque or highly refractive materials. It is therefore essential that X-ray beamline technology develops in parallel to accommodate such difficult samples. In this paper, the use of X-ray microradiography and microtomogra...
متن کاملCoherent X-ray diffractive imaging of protein crystals.
The technique of coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI) has recently shown great promise for the study of inorganic nanocrystals. In this work the CXDI method has been applied to the study of micrometer-size protein crystals. Finely sampled diffraction patterns of single crystals were measured and iterative phase-retrieval algorithms were used to reconstruct the two-dimensional shape of the ...
متن کامل[4] X-Ray Diffraction of Protein Crystals
The X-ray study of protein crystals is a difficult and highly specialized field. Eventually, when the structure of a few proteins has been unraveled, the results will be of vital interest to ensytiologists, since they should give information about the spatial arrangement of the “active site” of the enzyme. But meanwhile X-ray methods will have only a secondary interest for enzymologists. The eq...
متن کاملX-ray pulse compression using strained crystals
The use of strained crystals to time-compress chirped x-ray FEL pulses is proposed. The chirped beam diffracts from a crystal in which the strain varies with depth. Low-Z crystals are favored to reduce absorption over the required path lengths and small Bragg angles are favored to increase the diffraction efficiency of the strained crystal. The best compression ratios found for a 230 fs, 0.5% c...
متن کاملLongitudinal coherence function in X-ray imaging of crystals.
The longitudinal coherence function at the Advanced Photon Source beamline 34-ID-C has been measured by a novel method and the coherence length (xi(L)) determined to be, xi(L) = 0.66 +/- 0.02 microm. Three dimensional Coherent X-ray Diffraction (CXD) patterns were measured for multiple Bragg reflections from two Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods with differing aspect ratios. The visibility of fringes c...
