Peter Smyth et al.: Time-resolved serial synchrotron and serial femtosecond crystallography of heme proteins using photocaged nitric oxide #TimeResolvedXRayCrystallography #SerialCrystallography @Uni_of_Essex...#IUCr journals.iucr.org/paper?S2052252525…

Time-resolved serial synchrotron and serial femtosecond crystallography of heme proteins using photocaged nitric oxide
We demonstrate the application of a nitric oxide releasing photocage system for time-resolved serial crystallography studies of two heme containing proteins using a fixed target sample delivery system. Optimal parameters for successful photocage activation and nitric oxide release are explored.

Registration is open for the September on-site MX user training. If you are an MX user of @diamondlightsource.bsky.social then please to apply to attend - spaces are limited. You'll have the opportunity to visit and learn about all the MX beamlines, data analysis as well as all things logistics.

Crystals can’t bend – or can they? New research sheds light on elusive ‘flexible crystals’
Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic materials work.
