Dear Jacob, Ahmed Zewail's papers are worth consulting on this, although not protein/bio. See also the book by Zewail and Thomas, recently published, easily findable on amazon etc, as a handy overview. Best wishes, John Prof John R Helliwell DSc On 14 Apr 2011, at 14:38, Jacob Keller wrote:

[ccp4bb] Femtosecond Electron Beam

2011-04-14 Thread Jacob Keller
Dear Crystallographers, is there any reason why we are not considering using super-intense femtosecond electron bursts, instead of photons? Since the scattering of electrons is much more efficient, and because they can be focussed to solve the phase problem, it seems that it might be worthwhile to
