A torrent of data
Big data is coming to light source facilities across the globe, and CHESS is no exception.
Radicals can be stabilizers: Trapping an active ribonucleotide reductase complex
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is essential for DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. RNR is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of nucleotide diphosphates (NDPs) to deoxynucleotide diphosphates (dNDPs), the building blocks of DNA.
New beamline, dedicated lab space, new equipment!
The FALL 2013 commissioning of G1 line as the new home for BioSAXS far exceeded our expectations! Beam stability was rock solid and we were able to routinely collect data below q = 0.006 A-1 at a faster pace than ever!
CHESS capillaries improve resolution of APS microscope
Updates of CHESS single-bounce capillary development
New CdTe pixel-array-detectors for high-energy diffraction at A2
CHESS has recently acquired and commissioned a lightweight, high-resolution, high dynamic range area detector ideally suited for hard x-ray reciprocal space mapping of single crystal samples.
Measuring reaction kinetics in protein crystals with confocal microscopy
Confocal microscopy is a powerful tool for imaging a variety of biological samples, including protein crystals.
Angel Rodriguez-Fernandez commissions new diffractometer at C-line
CHESS just installed a new HUBER 6-circle diffractometer (illustrated below) in the C-line (bend magnet) experiment hutch.
