As a novel approach to solve the protein structure
serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) has been developed rapidly owing to the advantages of the room-temperature data collection
lower radiation damage and time-resolved study. The first X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) based SFX experiment has offered a new method to structure determination of protein microcrystals successfully.
Purpose
2
The aim is to introduce SFX into the widely-available third-generation synchrotron radiation (SR).
Methods
2
The electrospinning sample delivery system is a potential method to be applied on SR. The theoretical and experimental researches on electrospinning were studied using BL17U1 beamline in Shanghai synchrotron radiation facility (SSRF).
Results
2
A microjet containing microcrystals was produced from the liquid meniscus and controlled by an electrostatic field. The air ionization problem disturbing electrospinning in SR experiment was solved by providing vacuum condition and coaxial electrospinning technique. Using lysozyme microcrystals as a model sample
the feasibility of electrospinning was demonstrated.
Conclusion
2
It is shown that the serial crystallography on millisecond time scale is suitable for SR
which provides a reference for the future beamline upgrading.
