X-ray crystallography

The crystallography platform has regular access to the ESRF synchrotron’s MX beamlines (Grenoble). These beamlines offer either single- or multi-wavelength diffraction (SAD/MAD experiments), microdiffraction, and automatic data collection.

We have developed a Python-based pipeline, easYPipe (https://bioserv.cbs.cnrs.fr/SITE/easYPipe/), which enables us to quickly retrieve all the processed data from the synchrotron and then carry out semi-automatic processing of these data. This allows us to process around a hundred datasets in 1 to 2 days.
