Title: New Structural Biology Facilities at NSLS-II

Abstract

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at Brookhaven National Laboratory offers an advanced suite of beamlines dedicated to structural biology research for investigating problems ranging from the atomic to the cellular scale. The beamlines are now available for general users, while adjacent wet and dry laboratories will become available soon. These beamlines offer X-ray diffraction, scattering, footprinting, spectroscopy, and imaging techniques that capitalize on NSLS-II's brightness.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Manipulation of microcrystals for micro-crystallography. (a) Patterned well mount. Inset: A high-resolution image of microwells to show their shape and dimensions. For better visualization, the 2 μm holes are highlighted by white circles. (b) A generic procedure for harvesting and cooling microcrystals. A micropipette is used to aspiratemore » microcrystals and the microcrystal droplet is deposited onto the top side of the well mount; solvent is then removed from the bottom side by using a fiber paper and the well mount is plunged into liquid nitrogen for cooling. (c) The 1.0 x 1.5 μm FMX beam profile measured at 12.6 kev. (d) A light microscope view of a well mount loaded with microcrystals in an orientation ready for raster scanning. (e) A raster-scan heat map of diffraction intensity from microcrystals on a well mount. Reproduced with permission courtesy of G. Guo et al., IUCrJ .1, 238-246 (2018).« less
