As a follow-up, we have a postdoc position open to further develop metal identification methods for crystals and in solution! The project: structural study of biological systems that are impacted by free radical activity and metalloproteins, where the modeled metal and/or coordination state are

Hi Andy, We were able to use EDX fluorescence scans at a beam line to detect calcium in crystals. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29890074/ It isn't quantitative like micro-pixe but you can see it... Eddie Snell and Elspeth Garman and team have done some further work on micro-pixe, as well –

Hello, there is atomic-absorption. Breaks your heart to see the protein going into the flame, but we got good results for Se and transition metals with a superoxide dismutase. I doubt if there'll ever be one of those on a beam line ;-0 Cheers, Jon Cooper. Sent from ProtonMail mobile O
