Scientists succeed in soaking protein guests into host crystals – a major step towards solving guest structures

A group of researchers have successfully soaked proteins into large protein crystals, marking a hitherto never reported achievement. The X-ray diffraction data, which were collected on MAX IV’s BioMAX beamline, indicate that the guest proteins could follow at least some of the hosts’ structures signifying a so far unparalleled step towards using crystallographic methods to

Sticky situation for molecules in the MAX IV vacuum systems

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring vacuum system is the first of its kind, with an inner surface of the chambers coated with a non-evaporable getter material. A paper recently published in the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation summarises the results of this unique and successful design choice. The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring

FragMAXapp: all-in-one CFS project management platform

An advanced data analysis platform for the crystallographic fragment screening (CFS) method is available for users and other partners of MAX IV. This web-based data analysis platform facilitates data processing, structure refinement, automated ligand fitting, multi dataset analysis, and even data visualization of CFS method experiments at the BioMAX beamline — bringing CFS project management
