FIP is a French Collaborating Research Group (CRG) beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) dedicated exclusively to crystallography of biological macromolecules, with a special emphasis on multiwavelength anomalous diffraction data collection in the 0.7-1.81 A wavelength range. The optics, consisting of long cylindrical grazing-angle mirrors associated with a cryocooled double-crystal monochromator, delivers an optimal beam in the corresponding energy range. The high level of automation, which includes automated crystal centring, automated data-collection management and data processing, makes the use of this beamline very easy. This is illustrated by the large number of challenging structures that have been solved since 1999.

Density modification is a standard step to provide a route for routine structure solution by any experimental phasing method, with single-wavelength or multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction being the most popular methods, as well as to extend fragments or incomplete models into a full solution. The effect of density modification on the starting maps from either source is illustrated in the case of SHELXE. The different modes in which the program can run are reviewed; these include less well known uses such as reading external phase values and weights or phase distributions encoded in Hendrickson-Lattman coefficients.

In X-ray macromolecular crystallography (MX), single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) and multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) techniques are commonly used for obtaining experimental phases. For an MX synchrotron beamline to support SAD and MAD techniques it is a prerequisite to have a reliable, fast and well automated energy scan routine. This work reports on a continuous energy scan procedure newly implemented at the BioMAX MX beamline at MAX IV Laboratory.

Article Synopsis
- Correcting for anomalous dispersion in X-ray diffraction is essential for accurately determining crystal structures, as it accounts for inelastic scattering specific to each chemical compound.
- This correction is sensitive to the absorption edges of elements and relies on tabulated values which may not fully reflect the unique environments of compounds.
- The study presents new techniques using synchrotron multi-wavelength single-crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy for the compound Mo(CO), which allow for the refinement of anomalous dispersion parameters, leading to better crystallographic models than those using traditional approximations.
Structurally Precise Two-Transition-Metal Water Oxidation Catalysts: Quantifying Adjacent 3d Metals by Synchrotron X-Radiation Anomalous Dispersion Scattering.

Mixed 3d metal oxides are some of the most promising water oxidation catalysts (WOCs), but it is very difficult to know the locations and percent occupancies of different 3d metals in these heterogeneous catalysts. Without such information, it is hard to quantify catalysis, stability, and other properties of the WOC as a function of the catalyst active site structure. This study combines the site selective synthesis of a homogeneous WOC with two adjacent 3d metals, [CoNi(PWO)] () as a tractable molecular model for CoNi oxide, with the use of multiwavelength synchrotron X-radiation anomalous dispersion scattering (synchrotron XRAS) that quantifies both the location and percent occupancy of Co (∼97% outer-central-belt positions only) and Ni (∼97% inner-central-belt positions only) in .

Long-wave infrared imaging systems are widely used in the field of environmental monitoring and imaging guidance. As the core components, the long-wave infrared lenses suffer the conditions of less available materials, difficult processing, large volume and mass. Metalens composed of sub-wavelength structures is one of the most potential candidates to achieve a lightweight and planar optical imaging systems.
