Top: cumulative publications from science at the LCLS scientific instruments including soft X-ray science. Middle: structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) based on LCLS research. Bottom: contribution of static (SFX) and dynamic (TR-SFX) structures to the total number of depositions in the PDB. For dynamic structures, this number includes multiple conformations of a single protein, which could lead to an increased relative fraction of dynamic structures compared with static structures in the chart. A significant majority of TR structures rely on an optical laser pulse for triggering. Note that dynamic studies using the X-ray pump X-ray probe technique mainly focused on studying radiation damage-induced dynamics. |
