Synergic approach to XAFS analysis for the identification of most probable binding motifs for mononuclear zinc sites in metalloproteins

L. Giachini, G. Veronesi, F. Francia, G. Venturoli and F. Boscherini

Synopsis: Through a combined investigation of the near-edge features and the extended region of the XAFS spectrum it is possible to identify most probable binding motifs of unknown mononuclear zinc binding sites in metalloproteins.

Development and exploration of a new methodology for the fitting and analysis of XAS data

Diffractive-refractive optics: X-ray splitter

J. Hrdý

Synopsis: The possibility of splitting a thin (e.g. undulator) X-ray beam based on diffraction-refraction effects is discussed. The beam is diffracted from a crystal whose diffracting surface has the shape of a roof with the ridge lying in the plane of diffraction.

First experiments on the Australian Synchrotron imaging and medical beamline, including investigations of the effective source size in respect of X-ray imaging

A. W. Stevenson, S. C. Mayo, D. Häusermann, A. Maksimenko, R. F. Garrett, C. J. Hall, S. W. Wilkins, R. A. Lewis and D. E. Myers

The ID23-2 structural biology microfocus beamline at the ESRF

D. Flot, T. Mairs, T. Giraud, M. Guijarro, M. Lesourd, V. Rey, D. van Brussel, C. Morawe, C. Borel, O. Hignette, J. Chavanne, D. Nurizzo, S. McSweeney and E. Mitchell

Synopsis: Beamline ID23-2, the first dedicated and highly automated high-throughput monochromatic macromolecular crystallography microfocus beamline, is described.

Energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy at LNLS: investigation on strongly correlated metal oxides

J. C. Cezar, N. M. Souza-Neto, C. Piamonteze, E. Tamura, F. Garcia, E. J. Carvalho, R. T. Neueschwander, A. Y. Ramos, H. C. N. Tolentino, A. Caneiro, N. E. Massa, M. J. Martinez-Lope, J. A. Alonso and J.-P. Itié

Synopsis: The energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy beamline of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory has been described and its potentiality as a tool for material science investigation has been demonstrated.

Characterization of wax as a potential diffraction intensity standard for macromolecular crystallography beamlines

J. Brandao-Neto, S. P. Thompson, A. R. Lennie, F. F. Ferreira and C. C. Tang

Synopsis: The use of wax is proposed as an intensity reference for macromolecular crystallography beamlines. Examination of synthetic and natural waxes using diffraction showed beeswax to be suitable for this purpose. Beeswax standards were then prepared, calibrated, their scattering properties characterized and their use on a new macromolecular crystallography beamline demonstrated.

Synchrotron infrared reflectance microspectroscopy study of film formation and breakdown on copper

F. Hahn and C. A. Melendres

Synopsis: The utility of synchrotron infrared reflectance microspectroscopy in the far- and mid-IR for the determination of the composition of electrogenerated surface films formed during the general and localized corrosion of copper in alkaline and bicarbonate solutions is demonstrated.

Towards a black-box for biological EXAFS data analysis. II. Automatic BioXAS Refinement and Analysis (ABRA)

G. Wellenreuther, V. Parthasarathy and W. Meyer-Klaucke

Synopsis: The combination of least-squares refinement with advanced criteria judging its quality enables an automated analysis of biological X-ray absorption spectroscopy data.

Analysis of tapered front-coupling X-ray waveguides

I. Bukreeva, D. Pelliccia, A. Cedola, F. Scarinci, M. Ilie, C. Giannini, L. De Caro and S. Lagomarsino
