The pulses from an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) offer extremely high photon density. This may be used to investigate correspondingly thin samples, such as a particle beam that is rarified to the extent the laser pulse is scattering off a single particle. The challenge is then how to learn the structure of that particle, which may be a single large molecule such as an enzyme or protein, from the scattering pattern. This is the topic of the guest lecture by Sandhya Tiwari (Riken, Kobe) presented next week on Tuesday June 11, at 11 o’clock at CBU seminar room (Høyteknologisenteret, Datablokk, 5th floor). The title of the talk is Finding potential 3D biological shapes for a small number of XFEL diffraction patterns.
