Title: Chemical Crystallography at the Advanced Light Source

Abstract

Chemical crystallography at synchrotrons was pioneered at the Daresbury SRS station 9.8. The chemical crystallography beamlines at the Advanced Light Source seek to follow that example, with orders of magnitude more flux than a lab source, and various in situ experiments. This article thus attempts to answer why a chemist would require synchrotron X-rays, to describe the techniques available at the ALS chemical crystallography beamlines, and place the current facilities in a historical context.

A Novel Concept of Reversing Neuromuscular Block: Chemical Encapsulation of Rocuronium Bromide by a Cyclodextrin-Based Synthetic Host The discovery of Org 25969 is the result of teamwork with contributions from a number of scientists both inside Organon and outside the company. We would like in particular to acknowledge the following scientists for their invaluable contributions: E. Hutchinson, D. Stevenson, R. Roy, and J. Pick for scaling-up the synthesis; F. Hope, S. Miller, and R. Mason for various in vitro and in vivo pharmacological testing; R. Watson, B. Montgomery, P. Desmond, and A. Osprey for all their analytical effort; and R. McGuire and J. Mestres for graphical presentation of the X-ray crystal structure of the Org 25969–rocuronium complex (Figure 3). We would also like to thank Prof. A. Cooper of Glasgow University who has critically reproduced our calorimetry data of Org 25969–rocuronium complexation (Figure 2).
