Abstract
Protein microdiffraction using monochromatic beams is becoming a routine tool at third-generation synchrotron radiation sources. Beam sizes have reached the scale of about 5 μm, with illuminated crystal volumes of approximately 500 μm3, as shown for the case of bovine rhodopsin, which was refined to a resolution of 2.6 Å. Progress in X-ray optical systems and instrumentation will enable the method to be extended to smaller beams and smaller crystal volumes.
