DENSS: Ab Initio Electron Density Maps from Biological SAXS Data
20 Mar 2019 | Seminars | Contributor(s): Thomas Grant
Small angle scattering is an experimental technique used to analyze the molecular structures of a wide variety of biological and non-biological samples in solution. In contrast to X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, where 3D electron density maps are calculated, available methods …

Tabletop source for intense hard X-rays: toward a compact XFEL
28 Oct 2014 | Seminars
Dr. William Graves
ASU Biophysics Seminar Series
Today x-ray science is pursued either at major facilities housed in national labs, where the large synchrotrons and x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) produce an x-ray brilliance of at least 1020 photons/(sec mm2 mrad2 0.1%), or else it is pursued …
