Serial femtosecond crystallography experiment

  • Single-crystal XRD allows for absolute structure determination.
    With single-crystal XRD data, the exact atomic positions can be observed, and thus bond lengths and angles can be determined.
    This technique provides the structure within a single crystal, which does not necessarily represent the bulk of the material.
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) is a high-throughput, serial crystallography technique for studying macromolecular crystals at an X-ray free electron laser.

What is femtosecond crystallography?

A method for collecting time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data, in which a laser flash pump is used to trigger a reaction and then its structure is probed after a specified time delay by the X-ray free-electron laser beam

The wavelength range of the pump spans the X-ray region to the terahertz region

What is Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX)?

This approach to data collection is referred to as nanocrystallography 14 or serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) 10, 15 and involves the use of specialized software to merge partial intensities from thousands of diffraction patterns from crystals intersecting the XFEL beam at random orientations (Fig
