Our new preprint: Native SAD Phasing at Room Temperature

December 14, 2021
In our new pre-print, we describe phasing via single-wavelength anaomalous diffraction (SAD) in three model systems at 295 K. SAD experiments are often performed at cryogenic temperatures to mitigate radiation damage. By estabilishing a data collection strategy for SAD experiments at physiological temperatures, we facilitate the collection of high-quality diffraction data for study of protein conformational ensembles.
