Article Synopsis
- Structural genomics projects need X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy for solving protein structures, and advanced facilities are often required for data collection.
- The paper introduces a new laboratory-scale synchrotron light source called the Compact Light Source, which can replicate many key synchrotron applications in X-ray science.
- Successful tests showcased its capability by determining the high-resolution structure of a protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis using X-ray diffraction data from this new source.
The first imaging results obtained from a small-size synchrotron are reported. The newly developed Compact Light Source produces inverse Compton X-rays at the intersection point of the counter propagating laser and electron beam. The small size of the intersection point gives a highly coherent cone beam with a few milliradian angular divergence and a few percent energy spread.
