How Proteins Remodel DNA in Bacteria under Stress

ALS-ENABLE beamlines use multiscale, multimodal visualization techniques to clarify how proteins remodel bacterial DNA in response to stressful environments. At the mesoscale, small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) at Beamline 12.3.1 made…

Congratulations to Jennifer Doudna!

A huge congratulations to the team of Doudna and Charpentier who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year for the development of a new method of genome editing, namely, the much used CRISPR system. Dounda did much of her early structural work on this system using several of the ALS-ENABLE beamlines (though at the time these beamlines were not banded together under the ALS-ENABLE umbrella). We are very proud! Here is a link to a list of publications resulting from work at our beamlines.

SIBYLS BioSAXS workshop goes virtual!

Even though we had to hold our BioSAXS workshop virtually this year, it turned out to be one of our best ever. We had more 70 participants over the two…
