Macromolecular Crystallography Group

Diamond provides a range of techniques for academic and industrial researchers studying the machines of life. As one of those techniques, Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) reveals the shape and arrangement of biological molecules at atomic resolution, knowledge of which provides a highly accurate insight into function. This can be combined with complementary information from many other techniques available at Diamond alongside lab based investigations to reveal the broader picture of molecular interactions and their effects. Read more ...

The XFEL Hub at Diamond is funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Research council (BBSRC) to provide expertise and support to the UK community engaged in XFEL-related research in the life sciences. This includes all aspects of various XFEL experiments from conception to beamtime proposals through sample preparations and testing, to XFEL data collection, analysis and publication. Read more...
