Pump-Probe Time-Resolved Serial Femtosecond Crystallography at X-Ray Free Electron Lasers

With time-resolved crystallography (TRX), it is possible to follow the reaction dynamics in biological macromolecules by investigating the structure of transient states along the reaction coordinate. X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) have enabled TRX experiments on previously uncharted femtosecond...
