Protein Sculpts DNA to Repair Harmful Damage

In this study, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at ALS-ENABLE beamline 12.3.1 of Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source was used to see the shapes of individual DNA molecules providing an…

BL 12.3.1 has a new flight tube

SIBYLS installed a new flight tube at BL 12.3.1 giving us 2 meters distance from beam to detector allowing for wider angle capture. If you are interested in sending samples for collection go to our mail-in website to book a slot

Interlocks in action

Our friends in the protein footprinting group took this picture of BL 3.2.1 during the safety interlock in which red light was flashing to warn users to not enter the hutch.

Happy Friday ALS Enablers!!
