An overview of noncrystalline CXDI experiments. Skopi supports simulations of SPI, FXS and FTH experiments. (a) Projections of the particle(s) in the plane of the beam and (b) the corresponding diffraction patterns, shown for each experiment type. In the case of SPI, either an individual particle or an aggregate can be simulated. In FXS and FTH experiments, multiple particles are in the beam; for FTH, one of these particles serves as a reference, in this case a small cluster of gold atoms. The biomolecule used in these simulations is a chaperonin (PDB 3iyf; Zhang et al., 2010)). In row (b) the gray region marks the gap between panels of the PnCCD detector. The beam fluence has been artificially inflated to aid visualization. |
