Peter Kirchweger, Lev Melnikovsky, Shahar Seifer et al.
Cryo-electron tomography is an expanding technology for the study of macromolecules, viruses and cells. It is often applied to specimens that are too large or heterogeneous for methods based on 2D image averaging such as single-particle ...

Marina Galchenkova, Ibrahim Dawod, Sebastian Cardoch et al.
A central question in macromolecular crystallography is what X-ray free-electron laser pulse duration is required to obtain damage-free structural information. We compare serial femtosecond crystallography data from hemoglobin crystals u...

Shahar Seifer, Michael Elbaum
Four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) enables the acquisition of diffraction patterns at every probe position in a dense array. For imaging applications this approach offers significant benefits in terms of...

A short history of Auto-Rickshaw

Open DOI
Santosh Panjikar, Victor Lamzin, Paul A. Tucker et al.
Auto-Rickshaw was developed in the early 2000s at EMBL Hamburg as an automated macromolecular structure-determination platform for crystallography and structural biology. Its initial motivation was to provide beamline users with rapid fe...

The protein epiphany

Open DOI
Eleanor Dodson
George Sheldrick made his reputation by providing excellent software to solve the structures of a range of crystals which diffracted well and had fewer than 200 atoms. The techniques used included Patterson searches, direct-methods phase...
