It is set as an informal event to foster young scientists to discuss their research results in an international context. The 2018 edition will take place in the heart of Switzerland in Emmetten from September 26 to 28, 2018. Registration and abstract submission deadline: September 7, 2018. 9 August 2017 In Situ Serial Crystallography 2 Workshop at the SLS A workshop dedicated to the presentation of the in meso in situ serial crystallography (IMISX) method (Huang et al. 2015, 2016 ActaD) for the X-ray structure determination of membrane proteins is organised at the Swiss Light Source at PSI for the second time. It will be held between November 27 and 29, 2017. 23 May 2017 Towards understanding of human betacoronavirus HKU1 life cycle Researchers from China and USA join forces with Swiss Light Source (SLS) macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamline scientists in a study, which aims at understanding an important step in the life cycle of the human betacoronavirus HKU1. 22 February 2017 1000 Structures solved at X06DA-PXIII The macromolecular crystallography beamline X06DA-PXIII has reached 1,000 structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) on February 22, 2017. 20 October 2016 First protein structure solved using the JUNGFRAU detector! JUNGFRAU is a charge-integrating, two-dimensional pixel detector developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut for use at free-electron lasers, in particular SwissFEL, and synchrotron light sources. On the 10th October, the first protein crystallography experiment using the JUNGFRAU detector, was performed at the beamline X06SA (PXI) of the Swiss Light Source by the members of the Protein Crystallography and Detectors groups at PSI. 12 August 2016 Call for expressions of interest: Beamline partners at the SLS for PX II and PX III We invite companies and institutions to secure access to the beamlines X10SA/PX II and X06DA/PX III through a long term contract. 6 May 2016 Experiment in a hovering droplet Media Releases Research Using Synchrotron Light Biology Human Health At the PSI, the exact structure of proteins is deciphered in the standard way, with X-rays. Now two PSI researchers have used a clever trick to advance this method further: Instead of pinning down the proteins, they are studying them within a levitating drop of liquid. 1 2 Next page ›› Last page Last » Sidebar Associated Beamlines PX I (X06SA) PX II (X10SA) PX III (X06DA) Contact Head of MX and Group Leader (i.p.)
