Serial Femtosecond Crystallography (SFX) combined with an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) for Determination of Protein Structure with Reduced Sample Volume
Serial femtosecond crystallography is a promising new technique for protein structure determination, where a liquid stream containing protein crystals is intersected with a high-intensity X-ray free electron laser beam that is 109 times brighter than traditional synchrotron X-ray sources. We were recently able to interview Prof. Alexandra Ros, a FACSS Innovation Award winner from the 2018 SciX conference regarding her research work on this subject.
