Researchers have shown for the first time that a recently developed technique called serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) can take structural snapshots of proteins with near-atomic resolution. SFX ...

Lysozyme is abundant in secretions such as saliva, human milk, tears and mucus, and is also known as N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase or muramidase. It is an antimicrobial enzyme that is generated by ...

Although X-ray crystallography has been around for more than a century, its technique and applications continue to advance. For instance, scientists are now using X-ray free-electron lasers, “capable ...

Scientists at DESY have developed a new method that enables automated and fast screening of promising drug candidates. This novel technique, called mix-and-diffuse serial synchrotron crystallography, ...

The Institute for Particle Science and Engineering is a centre of excellence within the School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering at the University of Leeds. Researchers here focus on ...
