X-ray laser speeds up the process of determining protein structures

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 - 07:01 in Physics & Chemistry

An international team of scientists has learned how to determine the spatial structure of a protein obtained with an X-ray laser using the sulfur atoms it contains. This development is the next stage in the project of a group led by Vadim Cherezov to create an effective method of studying receptor proteins. A detailed description of the study has been published in the journal Science Advances.
