Protein Micro-Crystallography: Nanotechnology Challenges Ahead
Journal Title: NanoWorld Journal - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The status and prospects of protein microcrystallography (MPX) at high brilliance synchrotron radiation sources are reviewed. We discuss emerging trends in miniaturizing sample environments for serial crystallography (SX) experiments allowing manipulation and positioning of biological objects down to nanoscale dimensions with low contact forces.
