Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography Core Facility

Macromolecular X-ray crystallography core facility of Scripps FL offers state-of-the-art equipment and resources to scientists inside and outside of the Scripps FL campus by providing crystallographic analysis of their chosen biological macromolecules.

The core facility offers and operates as a full service core by performing protein crystallization, X-ray diffraction data collection (both in-house and at Argonne National Laboratory) and processing, phasing, crystallographic refinement, model building, and visualization. The structural data obtained by the core will provide scientists with a wealth of information including but not limited to biological functions, 3D-folding, ligand binding (small molecule or protein), or mutational effect of target macromolecules of their interests.
