The macromolecular crystallography beamlines of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin at the BESSY II storage ring: history, current status and future directions

The macromolecular crystallography beamlines of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin at the BESSY II storage ring: history, current status and future directions

Since 2003, the Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) group at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has been operating three MX beamlines at the BESSY II storage ring in Berlin. These beamlines were established to support the emerging structural genomics initiatives founded in Germany, Europe, and overseas...
