Softer X-rays have great potential in protein crystallography, especially `structural genomics' projects. Very small crystal size is a common occurrence in current pilot projects. High-quality diffraction data can be recorded using, for example, a wavelength of 2 Å, evidenced here for apocrustacyanin A1 needle crystals (∼0.1 mm thick). From Chayen et al. (2000).
