  1. Abstract:

    Time-resolved structure determination of macromolecular conformations and ligand-bound intermediates is extremely challenging, particularly for RNA. With rapid technological advances in both microfluidic liquid injection and X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL), a new frontier has emerged in time-resolved crystallography whereby crystals can be mixed with ligand and then probed with X-rays (mix-and-inject) in real time and at room temperature. This chapter outlines the basic setup and procedures for mix-and-inject experiments for recording time-resolved crystallographic data of riboswitch RNA reaction states using serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) and an XFEL. © 2023.
