Protein crystallography with a micrometre-sized synchrotron-radiation beam

For the first time, protein microcrystallography has been performed with a focused synchrotron-radiation beam of 1 µm using a goniometer with a sub-micrometre sphere of confusion. The crystal structure of xylanase II has been determined with a flux density of about 3 × 1010 photons s−1 µm−2 at the sample.
