The Markelz Research Group presented several talks at the 2022 APS March Meeting in Chicago, March 14-18. Click images to see them all.

Tutorial: Crystal Mailer Kit - Sending

We've developed and tested a crystal mailing kit to facilitate the rapid and reliable exchange of fragile protein crystals among collaborators.

Whether you're sending us crystals or have received crystals from our group, we're working to provide video tutorials to help with the process.

Yanting's ACS Photonics Paper!

Check out this paper that not only shows you how to do Stationary Sample Anisotropic Terahertz Microspectroscopy (SSATM) , but shows beautiful results of the effects of dehydration on the spectra!  The increased ordering seen in X-ray corresponds to a narrowing of the spectral peaks in SSATM! https://doi.org/10.1021/acsphotonics.0c01876 

Mengyang Photoswitching of Picosecond Protein Dynamics Published in Photonics!

Congrats to Mengyang Xu and all contributors for publishing important results on fluorescent protein dynamical switching with bleaching!!!
