Join us Thursday, November 2nd, as BioXFEL member and UWM Associate Professor, Peter Schwander discusses his recent accomplishments in Single Particle Imaging. This presentation will be recorded and posted to our website.

The seminar takes place at 3PM EDT (2PM CDT, 1PM MDT, 12PM PDT/MST)

Title
Single-Particle diffraction with the X-Ray Free Electron Laser: New Opportunities to Study Structure and Function in Biology
 
Abstract
The X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) enables diffraction from individual biomolecules. The obvious advantage is that no crystals are required. But the true potential of single-particle diffraction unfolds in the presence of structural variability, intrinsic to biological function. Data analysis using manifold-based machine learning reveals the concerted structural changes and enables mapping the conformational spectrum, energy landscapes and compiling molecular movies. Performing single-particle diffraction in a time-resolved manner can further advance these salient opportunities.
