Serial crystallography on in vivo grown microcrystals using synchrotron radiation by Cornelius Gati, Gleb Bourenkov, Marco Klinge, Dirk Rehders, Francesco Stellato, Dominik Oberthür, Oleksandr Yefanov, Benjamin P. Sommer, Stefan Mogk, Michael Duszenko, Christian Betzel, Thomas R. Schneider, Henry N. Chapman, Lars Redecke

“…Crystal structure determinations of biological macromolecules are limited by the availability of sufficiently sized crystals and by the fact that crystal quality deteriorates during data collection owing to radiation damage. Exploiting a micrometre-sized X-ray beam, high-precision diffractometry and shutterless data acquisition with a pixel-array detector, a strategy for collecting data from many micrometre-sized crystals presented to an X-ray beam in a vitrified suspension is demonstrated. …”

Single-molecule imaging with longer X-ray laser pulses by Andrew V. Martin, Justine K. Corso, Carl Caleman, Nicusor Timneanu, Harry M. Quiney

“…During the last five years, serial femtosecond crystallography using X-ray laser pulses has been developed into a powerful technique for determining the atomic structures of protein molecules from micrometre- and sub-micrometre-sized crystals. One of the key reasons for this success is the `self-gating' pulse effect, whereby the X-ray laser pulses do not need to outrun all radiation damage processes. …”
