    ... researchers performed both high-resolution protein crystallography and small-angle x-ray ... well as details of samples in crystals using macromolecular crystallography (MX). Scott Classen of Berkeley Lab ...
  • Crystallography reveals the 3-D structure of mammalian sperm receptor

    ... to form a matrix of filaments, the so-called zona pellucida that completely surrounds the egg. The Protein Crystallography Unit at Karolinska Institutet, led by Dr. Luca Jovine, has now determined the ...
  • Atomic-level Snapshot Catches Protein Motor in Action (w/ Video)

    ... been uncovered by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using a state-of-the-art protein crystallography beamline at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). These protein motors play ...
  • Atomic-level snapshot catches protein motor in action

  • Gatekeepers are discovered in the human cell 'shredder'

    ... water. The scientists were hoping to solve structure of the portal protein from yeast using protein crystallography but the protein refused to crystallize. However, Koraljka Husnjak, a postdoctoral ...
  • Process used by microbes to make greenhouse gases uncovered

    ... one of the first projects Chan took on after coming to Ohio State. The goal was to use protein crystallography to get a picture of it and figure out how it works. An important initial step in this ...
  • X-ray diffraction looks inside aerogels in 3-D

    ... of almost 100 million measured intensities, as opposed to the 100 thousand or so typical of, say, protein crystallography – but the end result is a 3-D image of the tiny sample at nanometer-scale ...
  • Structure of enzyme against chemical warfare agents determined
