Finally some decent bedtime reading - I hope they also have titles such as “Susan solves the phase problem” and “what spacegroup am I?”

High-Resolution structure of the BtuM transporter-an integral membrane protein with no soluble domains – phased with #Crystallophore with crystals grown from #MemGold2. #TbXO4😀 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-01 8-05441-9

‘First light last week for two more instruments at the European XFEL, #SCS and #SQS, received their first X-rays! Now commissioning begins on both, with an eye on the first experiments taking place in November. More information here 👉 https://www.xfel.eu/news_and_events/news/ index_eng.html…

Observations of the birth of crystals... A way of controlling the crystal form of a protein has now been reported.

“Prof Hawking will not be buried, but instead will be cremated and his ashes laid to rest near the country's greatest scientists.”

CSIRO and Deakin University have solved a puzzle that helps explain why platypus milk is so potent – bringing it one step closer to being used to save lives.
