MX
D03B-MX1 is used to study three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins. The coordinates of the atoms that make up protein crystals can be mathematically obtained from the X-ray diffraction. Knowledge of the atomic structure allows us to know how the function of proteins and other biological molecules is performed at a molecular level.
W01B-MX2 is a wiggler beamline dedicated to Macromolecular Crystallography. It operates on a 2.0 T hybrid 30-pole wiggler and its optical layout includes collimating mirror, Si(111) double-crystal monochromator and toroidal bendable mirror.
