Our new paper exploring the effect of XFEL pulse length and pulse intensity on electron density maps of two radiation sensitive proteins. A great collaboration between Diamond MX Beamlines SwissFEL and School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Jonathan Worrall

EMBL @ DESY Hamburg has been & is a fabulous leader in structural biology with synchrotron radiation these past 5 decades over a variety of crystallography, diffraction, scattering, spectroscopy and imaging methodologies. Hearty congratulations on this achievement.

"Certifying Central Facility Beamlines for Biological and Chemical Crystallography and Allied Methods: Synchrotrons, X-ray Lasers, Neutrons and Electrons" by John Helliwell has recently been published. An interview with the author is in our newsletter: iucr.org/news/newslette…

Day two of the 7th International Symposium on Diffraction Structural Biology. Conferences, presentations, and poster sessions were on the schedule for today. Attendees could pick up important insights into the future of structural biology.

📢Structural Biology is a learned society journal with an international Editorial Board of trusted expert reviewers. The key criterion is that articles should present significant new insights into biological, chemical or medical sciences. Find out more at: journals.iucr.org/d/services/sub…
