摘要
Structure-based biological discovery is entering a new era with the development of industrialized macromolecular structure determination pipelines. Intense, highly focused X-rays from integrated synchrotron radiation beam lines combined with significant advances in protein expression, purification, and micro-crystallization automation allow for the full streamlining of the traditionally tedious and time consuming process of determining the three dimensional structures of macromolecules.
