New Service at Protein Structure and Chemistry Core: Crystallizations with microseeding
Use of crystal seed stocks in high-throughput crystallization screenings to improve the chances of crystal formation. Microseeds can be dispensed either during sitting drop or microbatch-under-oil setups.
A state-of-the-art single-photon counting X-ray detector and a new goniometer have been installed. The new set-up allows:
- In situ data collection
- In situ crystal characterisation
- Fast data collection and processing
- Serial crystallography
- Fragment screening for drug design
- Easy and efficient in-house phasing
- Small-molecule crystallography
- Powder diffraction
- New educational and training activities
