The RATIO method for time-resolved Laue crystallography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A RATIO method for analysis of intensity changes in time-resolved pump-probe Laue diffraction experiments is described. The method eliminates the need for scaling the data with a wavelength curve representing the spectral distribution of the source and removes the effect of possible anisotropic absorption. It does not require relative scaling of series of frames and removes errors due to all but very short term fluctuations in the synchrotron beam.

New methods in time-resolved Laue pump–probe crystallography at synchrotron sources
Newly developed methods for time-resolved studies using the polychromatic and in particular the pink-Laue technique, suitable for medium and small-size unit cells typical in chemical crystallography, are reviewed. The order of the sections follows that of a typical study, starting with a description of the pink-Laue technique, followed by the strategy of data collection for analysis with the RA...
متن کاملTime-resolved methods in biophysics. 6. Time-resolved Laue crystallography as a tool to investigate photo-activated protein dynamics.
When polychromatic X-rays are shined onto crystalline material, they generate a Laue diffraction pattern. At third generation synchrotron radiation sources, a single X-ray pulse of approximately 100 ps duration is enough to produce interpretable Laue data from biomolecular crystals. Thus, by initiating biological turnover in a crystalline protein, structural changes along the reaction pathway m...
متن کاملNew processing tools for weak and/or spatially overlapped macromolecular diffraction patterns.
Tools originally developed for the treatment of weak and/or spatially overlapped time-resolved Laue patterns were extended to improve the processing of difficult monochromatic data sets. The integration program PrOW allows deconvolution of spatially overlapped spots which are usually rejected by standard packages. By using dynamically adjusted profile-fitting areas, a carefully built library of...
متن کاملProtein crystallography 1. The frontiers of time-resolved macromolecular crystallography: movies and chirped X-ray pulses
Three important frontiers of ultrafast time-resolved macromolecular crystallography are presented: extension of this technique to other biological systems; further developments in the elucidation of mechanism through the analysis of time-dependent movies to extract the underlying, time-independent, intermediate structures; and enhanced time resolution. The last is intimately linked with the nat...
