Webinar: How to collect exceptional diffraction data for your crystals (Angela Criswell)
Welcome to the Rigaku Life Sciences Webinar Series. This series was designed for the purpose of education and training in protein crystallography methods. Each webinar will tackle a new topic ranging from optimization of crystallization conditions to SAD phasing. We also welcome you to submit ideas for future webinars.
If you have trouble viewing this video on-line, please email us and we will mail you a copy of the webinar on a DVD.
With modernized generators, detectors, remote capabilities, and robots it seems that more and more users treat the diffraction experiment as a black box... "Shoot first and ask questions later." Fortunately, this strategy works in some cases but in others a bad data set can often lead to bad results during the structure solution and refinement process. This webinar, presented by Dr. Angela Criswell, will describe the diffraction experiment in terms of best practices and provide tools both for identifying diffraction quality samples and for collecting exceptional diffraction data. |
