Sabbatical Hideaki Mizuno: Serial femtosecond crystallography to reveal structural dynamics of proteins KU Leuven
The aim of the sabbatical is to master the cutting-edge technology of time resolved X-ray crystallography (TR-SFX) with X-ray free electron laser (XFEL). XFEL is the next generation X-ray technology that generates extremely short (10 fs), strong, and coherent pulses. Thanks to these properties, XFEL is a breakthrough in structural biology, especially exploring structural dynamics of proteins in fs to ps time resolution. TR-SFX requires ...
