topical reviewA short history of Auto-Rickshaw
Auto-Rickshaw is an example of practical, decision-driven automated macromolecular structure determination from crystallographic diffraction data. This review traces its development at the EMBL Hamburg/DESY beamline environment, where rapid validation of diffraction experiments was essential, through its expansion into a general platform for automated structure solution and its continuing relevance to beamline automation.
research papersresearch papersRadiation damage in serial femtosecond crystallography studied in hemoglobin
Protein structures determined by serial femtosecond crystallography are indistinguishable when measured with 3 and 10 fs X-ray pulses, indicating no structural benefit from further shortening the pulse duration under the studied conditions.
research papersSingle-crystal X-ray and in crystallo XANES studies resolve cobalt coordination in cobalamin and rule out radiation-induced ligand loss in human intrinsic factor
High-resolution crystallography combined with in crystallo Co K-edge XANES shows that cobalamin retains octahedral cobalt coordination in both oxidized and reduced states. These results rule out radiation-induced Co–CN cleavage as the cause of the missing axial ligand in intrinsic factor-bound cobalamin.
