OBSERVATION OF A SINGLE PROTEIN BY ULTRAFAST X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Observation of a single protein by ultrafast X-ray diffraction

Abstract The idea of using ultrashort X-ray pulses to obtain images of single proteins frozen in time has fascinated and inspired many.It was one of the arguments for building X-ray free-electron lasers.According to theory, the extremely intense pulses provide sufficient signal to dispense with using crystals as an amplifier, and the ultrashort pul
