Recent results have shown that CXD can be perform on rpotein crystals. However, for the results to be useful, one needs much better statistics which could not be achieved due to the intrinsic motions of the crystal inside the solvent. Different proteins and possibly viruses might work better. equipment_required: experiment: Coherent diffraction on biological crystals foreign_nationals: hazards: I will use various salts which are generaly not hazardous except for some cadmium salt which is toxic. If I use viruses of some kind, those will all be non hazardous to humans. minimumdays: 5 name: Sebastien Boutet nonmembers: unacceptable_dates: October 1-15 z34ID_change_undulator: no z34ID_details: No z34ID_parasitic: no #REMOTE_HOST: robinsonpc2.mrl.uiuc.edu #REMOTE_ADDR: 130.126.103.51 #CONTENT_LENGTH: 976 #HTTP_REFERER: http://www.uni.aps.anl.gov/unireq.htm #HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)
