Completion of NYSBC Microdiffraction Beamline NYX

Abstract

The funding from this Agreement was used to complete construction by the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) of NYX a new microdiffraction beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). NSLS-II became the most advanced synchrotron in the world upon its completion in 2014, and NYX is a state-of-the-art beamline designed to exploit its unique capabilities. NYX will enable researchers to conduct crystallographic and biophysical experiments on a wider range of molecules than currently possible, including critical components in the activities of deadly viruses, biological toxins, and diseases including those used as biological warfare agents. The capabilities provided by NYX and the research that will be conducted at NYX, are of fundamental importance to national security.
