beamline:
	34ID-C

collaboration:
	No

contact:
	boutet@uiuc.edu

days:
	9

description:
	I will hook up a pressure pump to a thin sealed capillary and put solutions of ferritin under pressure to look at the changes in the packing of the proteins. Preliminary results have shown that pressure can induce a phase transition in the sample from an amorphous state to a crystalline state. We will explore this further. The experiment will be SAXS with the sample under high pressure.

equipment_required:
	The entire 34-ID-C hutch!

experiment:
	Pressure effects on pre-crystallization of ferritin

foreign_nationals:
	Sebastien Boutet

hazards:
	The high pressure capillary tubing used can break but it never does in a catastrophic manner. The only bad thing that can occur is a little spill of the sample in the hutch. I will then never use toxic samples.
