The Committee Research with Synchrotron Radiation is elected by the synchrotron ratiation users in Germany to represent their interest and to foster research with synchrotron radiation.
First European XFEL research results published
 |
Source: Press release by European XFEL, based on Grünbein et al., 2018: Megahertz data collection from protein microcrystals at an X-ray free-electron laser, Nature Communicationsvolume 9, 3487. doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-05953-4
The first results based on research performed at the facility have been published. In the journal Nature Communications, the scientists, headed by Prof. Ilme Schlichting from Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, demonstrate, for the first time that, under the conditions used at the time of the experiment an increased number of X-ray pulses per second as produced by the European XFEL can be successfully used to determine the structure of biomolecules. As much faster data collection is therefore possible, the time needed for an experiment could be significantly shortened. The detailed determination of the 3D structure of biomolecules is crucial for providing insights into informing the development of novel drugs to treat diseases. [more] 05.09.2018 |
