PROTEIN STRUCTURE DETERMINATION

摘要

A method is provided for acquiring X-ray diffraction images of a protein crystal, the method comprising providing an X-ray source and a micro-capillary, wherein the micro-capillary contains an oil, gas or immiscible liquid and at least one aqueous droplet comprising a crystal of a protein, recording an X-ray diffraction image of the crystal, repositioning the crystal with respect to the X-ray source, and repeating the last two steps immediately above at least once.
