Scientific achievements through serial crystallography

MAX IV in association with LINXS is pleased to announce a symposium on “Scientific achievements through serial crystallography”, marking the start of user operations at the MicroMAX Beamline. The program will take place 22nd-24th September at Lund and will feature talks, discussions, and networking with experts in the field — offering insights into emerging directions in structural biology. For registration and further information, visit the MicroMAX symposium webpage. Registration deadline is the 1st of September.

Serial crystallography opens possibilities to study protein dynamics on a wide range of time scales and irreversible reactions. It is also a powerful method to study protein structures at room temperature as the impact of radiation damage is reduced. Serial crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers and synchrotrons has applications that extend beyond structural biology.

This symposium will showcase some of the exciting scientific advances achieved through serial crystallography and time-resolved crystallography, in structural biology and other areas.

It will feature presentations from invited speakers, and selected oral presentations based on submitted abstracts and poster sessions. The symposium will be held at LINXS (http://www.linxs.se) at its new location in the Science Village located between the MAX IV Laboratory (https://www.maxiv.lu.se) and the European Spallation Source (http://www.ess.eu).

Attendees will also be invited for a tour of the MAX IV beamlines on the evening of 23rd September.
