Single Crystal vs Powder diffraction (7 of 9)

Tetracycline structures obtained from microcrystal - single crystal diffraction : synchrotron X-rays

• a powder can be a collection of very small single crystals

• 10x20x30 micron crystal (Clegg and Teat)

• Beamline 9.8 at Daresbury Synchrotron: Bruker Smart CCD
  • http://srs.dl.ac.uk/xrd/9.8/

• Routine structure solution - including hydrogens found from the map

• Solved at the press of a button as the data was being collected. (few hours data collection)
