Effect of X-ray free-electron laser-induced shockwaves on haemoglobin microcrystals delivered in a liquid jet

X-ray fee-electron lasers (XFELs) enable time-resolved crystallography experiments and the structure determination of proteins with little or no radiation damage. However currently it is unknown whether the designated 4.5 MHz maximum pulse rate for the European XFEL could lead to sample damage cause...
