摘要: We demonstrate the use of an X-ray free electron laser synchronized with optical pump to obtain diffraction snapshots from photoactivated states large membrane protein complexes in form nanocrystals flowing a liquid jet. Light-induced changes Photosystem I-Ferredoxin co-crystals were observed at time delays 5 10 µs after excitation. The result correlates microsecond kinetics transfer I ferredoxin. undocking process that follows leads rearrangements crystals will terminally lead disintegration crystals. describe experimental setup and first time-resolved femtosecond serial crystallography results irreversible photo-chemical reaction Linac Coherent Light Source. This technique opens door structural studies dynamics biological systems.
