Development of protein crystallography beamline using MIRRORCLE-20SX

We are developing a laboratory-scale protein structure analysis beamline based on our portable synchrotron MIRRORCLE-20SX, which is a 20 MeV machine. Using the crystal as a target in the central orbit of the synchrotron, we will obtain parametric X-ray, the spatially resolved monochromatic X-ray. Our final goal is a development of protein crystallography basis cooperated with the protein group of the Nagahama Institute of Bio-science and Technology, which performs screening, crystallization, and protein structure analysis. The METI Kansai funded this program.
