BioSAXS Essentials 6 workshop bigger, better than ever
The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) held its sixth highly successfully BioSAXS Essentials workshop from May 13th to 16th, 2016.
Crystallography and solution scattering join forces in the study of antibiotic synthesis
Living cells are constantly producing proteins (polypeptides) by translating genetic sequences (messenger RNA) using the large molecular complex called the ribosome.
CHESS user awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
Chris Fromme, Cornell Molecular Biology & Genetics, has been awarded a prestigious Guggenheim fellowship for his work in structural biology.
Surprising mechanism of an enzyme in a membrane
Many cellular processes, particularly intercellular signaling, require enzyme-catalyzed reactions to occur inside a cell membrane.
Fluorescence imaging at the MacCHESS A1 and F1 beamlines makes crystal centering easier
Macromolecules typically produce only small crystals; to observe diffraction from them (and determine the molecular structure) we need the intense, highly collimated beam from a synchrotron source.
BioSAXS Essentials 6 workshop in May
MacCHESS is offering its sixth intensive HOWTO course in BioSAXS.
Unusually deformable protein crystals
Application of high pressure to crystals of Snf7 has an unusual effect. Cryocooling protein crystals under pressure (HPC) can reduce damage due to the cooling process.
MacCHESS runs ACA course on small angle scattering
Following the successful BioSAS training workshop held at the 2013 American Crystallographic Association annual meeting, the ACA approved a new proposal from MacCHESS for a small-angle scattering workshop bringing together experts in both biology and soft matter.
