Knowledge of molecular structure is the cornerstone of life science, and macromolecular crystallography -- MX -- is the gold standard for structure determination. 74% of the 70,000 Protein Data Bank deposits depended on MX diffraction data measured at a synchrotron. And seven recent Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry required readily available synchrotron x-rays for their research. Three of them used X25.
Right now one third of all NSLS users come here to do MX measurements, and NSLS beamline X29 is the second most effective in the world in the production of PDB depositions. To accomplish this wasn't easy. In this lecture I'll take you back to the early days when we used x-ray film and had no cryogenics, will tell you how we created the present system, and will describe what we have in mind for NSLS-II.
