TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used ultrafast time-resolved crystallography at room temperature to determine how an isomerized twisted all-trans retinal stores the photon energy that is required to initiate the protein conformational changes associated with the formation of the G protein-binding signalling state.

TL;DR: It is believed that the result of phase contrast imaging at an optical wavelength can be extended to the quantitative phase imaging of cells and tissues.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GMMs serve as useful coarse-grained models for hybrid approach in XFEL single particle experiments and the resolution that GMM can accurately reproduce is proportional to the cubic root of the number of Gaussians used in the modeling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report their first attempt at single particle imaging (SPI) using the SACLA XFEL facility in June 2015, which was limited to experience with the instrumentation and examples of data because they have not yet had time to invert them to images.

TL;DR: The Td of ionic mutants linearly increases with the increments of the computed energy of ion- ion interactions for ionic mutant proteins even up to the temperatures near 140 °C, suggesting that ion-ion interactions cumulatively contribute to the stabilization of a protein at high temperatures.
