A Perspective on Molecular Structure and Bonding-Breaking in Radiation Damage in Serial Femtosecond Crystallography
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have a unique capability for time-resolved studies of protein dynamics and conformational changes on femto- and pico-second time scales. The extreme intensity of X-ray pulses can potentially cause significant modifications to the sample structure during exposure. S...
