A large, general and modular DARPin–apoferritin scaffold enables the visualization of small proteins by cryo-EM


Accepted 28 March 2025

Instrumentation and methods for efficient time-resolved X-ray crystallography of biomolecular systems with sub-10 ms time resolution

Methods and instrumentation for reaction initiation via mixing followed by rapid cooling allow sample-efficient time-resolved crystallographic studies with sub-10 ms time resolution. The instrumentation is robust, amenable to diverse samples, cost-effective and enables remote collection of time-resolved X-ray data using standard sample supports and high-throughput cryocrystallography beamlines.

Damage before destruction? X-ray-induced changes in single-pulse serial femtosecond crystallography

Varied pulse-duration and pulse-intensity serial femtosecond crystallography data do not show significant signs of radiation damage under typical experimental conditions.

Accepted 23 March 2025

Accurate temperature dependence of structure factors of L-alanine and taurine for quantum crystallography

The temperature dependence of accurate structure factors of L-alanine and taurine was measured at the SPring-8 BL02B1 beamline. The quality of the structure factors was evaluated by charge density and quantum crystallographic studies. The effects of small amounts of twinning on the charge density study in taurine were also described.

Accepted 21 March 2025

Structure of ICE VII with Hirshfeld atom refinement

The crystal structure of cubo-ice (ice VII) has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using both synchrotron and laboratory data collected at high pressure. X-ray diffraction data in both cases were refined with Hirshfeld atom refinement. Various structural models including those with `split' positions of atoms were refined.

Accepted 11 March 2025

Additive-driven microwave crystallization of tyramine polymorphs and salts: a quantum crystallography perspective

This study reveals how additives and microwave radiation influence the crystallization of new tyramine polymorphs and their cocrystallization with barbital. The findings provide insights into polymorph stability and offer potential applications in molecular encapsulation and optical materials.
