X-ray crystallography provides the vast majority of macromolecular structures, but the success
of the method relies on growing crystals of sufficient size. In conventional measurements, …

Abstract Theory predicts 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 that, with an ultrashort and extremely bright coherent X-ray
pulse, a single diffraction pattern may be recorded from a large macromolecule, a virus or …

X-ray lasers offer new capabilities in understanding the structure of biological systems,
complex materials and matter under extreme conditions 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Very short and extremely …

The Trypanosoma brucei cysteine protease cathepsin B (TbCatB), which is involved in host
protein degradation, is a promising target to develop new treatments against sleeping …

Serial femtosecond crystallography using ultrashort pulses from x-ray free electron lasers (XFELs)
enables studies of the light-triggered dynamics of biomolecules. We used …

Photosynthesis, a process catalysed by plants, algae and cyanobacteria converts sunlight
to energy thus sustaining all higher life on Earth. Two large membrane protein complexes, …

A variety of organisms have evolved mechanisms to detect and respond to light, in which the
response is mediated by protein structural changes after photon absorption. The initial step …

Generalist and specialist species differ in the breadth of their ecological niches. Little is known
about the niche width of obligate human pathogens. Here we analyzed a global collection …

This open access book provides a concise explanation of the fundamentals and background
of the surround sound recording and playback technology Ambisonics. It equips readers …

In nanotechnology, strategies for the creation and manipulation of nanoparticles in the gas
phase are critically important for surface modification and substrate-free characterization. …
