We make the invisible visible

The HZB study, published in CellPress, sourced the power of MAX IV’s macromolecular crystallography beamline BioMAX
International travel restrictions as well as national travel recommendations due to COVID-19 have imposed a challenge on scientists in need of beamtime. BioMAX is therefore now running remote sessions with users. At MAX IV Laboratory, our priorities during this COVID-19 pandemic are to keep our staff, users and contractors safe and contribute to societal solidarity
End of September, a stored beam in the 1.5 GeV ring at MAX IV Laboratory was achieved for the first time, thus completing Phase I of the MAX IV project. – This is one more important mile stone and we are all very happy and proud having being able to deliver results on time, says
To say that Marjolein Thunnissen has been interested in structural biology and synchrotron research since early childhood would be an exaggeration, but only a slight one. Marjolein was actually only 19 when she knew this was what she wanted to focus on. The overall objective of her work is to gain more knowledge about proteins,
Att säga att Marjolein Thunnissen varit intresserad av strukturbiologi och synkrotronforskning sedan barnsben är väl att överdriva. Men inte så mycket – hon var faktiskt bara 19 år när hon visste att det var detta hon ville syssla med. Det övergripande målet för hennes arbete är att få mer kunskap om proteiner, livets byggstenar.

As a result of the synchrotron light techniques available at MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Professor Adrian Goldman’s research team at the University of Helsinki was able to map the structure of a type of protein. The protein, called pyrophosphatase, is a so-called membrane protein found in plants and bacteria as well as in certain
