 Protein X-ray Diffractometer
Protein Diffractometer On The Basis Of
Lumakhov Integral Lens
IRO demonstrated for the first time its
protein diffractometer at the International Congress of
Crystallographers (August 2002, Geneva).
|
The diffractometer comprises a new x-ray
tube together with Rizon 50/50 generator and is equipped with
Kumakhov integral lens.
For detection, the Imaging Plate Detector System Mar 345 was
used, which has proved well at protein workstations in synchrotron
facilities
|
|
Experimental studies were carried out at the
Institute of Protein of the Russian Academy of Science by a team of
researchers headed by professor Stanislav Nikonov.
|
|
|
Comparison
was done between the image of lysozyme crystals obtained at the
rotation anode source with 1.4 kW power and our
Laboratory
synchrotron with the x-ray tube of 10-watt power.
|
|
The quality of images was good in both cases
but Laboratory synchrotron gives the benefit in intensity of over 2
orders.
