Beyond the Lab with Elisabeth Bodnaruk

Elisabeth at Habitat for Humanity and CHESS

Elisabeth says she feels like she belongs at CHESS, doing whatever it takes to make things work - from building experimental hutches to working with sensitive vacuum equipment.

Detectors at Cornell: Higher Energies, Faster, Enhanced Sensitivity

MM-PAD at G-2 at CHESS

Through the CHESS-U upgrade, the X-rays produced at CHESS are now brighter than ever. Combining these brilliant X-rays with new and inventive detectors developed by the Cornell Detector Group will provide new possibilities for X-ray experiments that are not possible today

Step-by-Step: Revealing the mechanism of a protein-cleaving enzyme by crystallographic snapshots

Lateral (membrane) views of structures in surface representation color coded in rainbow colors from amino (blue) to carboxyl (red) termini. Disordered regions are depicted as ribbon-only, and the catalytic serine is marked with an asterisk. The closed form (left) cannot accept either substrates or inhibitors. The cap-open structure (middle) that we visualized as a starting point in the bicelle can accept inhibitors but not substrates. Finally, the gate-open form (right) can accept both substrates and inhibi

Nearest neighbors and beyond: Reciprocal space imaging of ionic correlations in intercalation compounds

Comparison of the real-space model of sodium ions in the x = 0 plane at 50K (top) with the deviation of the pair distribution function peak intensities from average, ΔPDF, (bottom) which is the basis of the model. ΔPDF peaks are at interatomic vectors connecting sites that are occupied with a greater (red) or lesser (blue) probability than random.
