Using Serial Room Temperature Crystallography for Cancer Research |
|
From a paper at Journal of Biological Chemistry, by Milano et al., learn how serial room temperature crystallography was used to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of glutaminase C inhibitors in cancer cells. By using this technique researchers "were able to observe clear differences between the binding conformations of inhibitors with significantly different potencies." They also "developed a computational model to further elucidate the molecular basis of differential inhibitor potency." |

Crystallography Sample Support System |
|
|
|
In the above paper, researcher entrusted MiTeGen's Crystallography Sample Support System to enable their research.
The system is designed to be the next-generation crystal mounting system that will change how crystals can be prepared for X-ray diffraction data collection.
It has applications for a wide range of crystallography techniques including conventional, serial, In Situ and room temperature crystallography.

Crystallography for Misfit Crystals |
|
|
|
From an article titled " Crystallography for the Misfit Crystals" at Berkeley Lab News Center, learn how small-molecule serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (smSFX) enhances traditional crystallography to study the structures of materials that don’t form tidy single crystals. |

Did You Know We Sell Cryogenic Equipment? |
|
|
|
Did you know we sell the entire line of IC Biomedical (formerly Worthington) cryogenic equipment? This includes dryshippers, storage dewars, refrigerators, freezers as well as all supporting accessories. Whether you need a dryshipper to ship your samples or a cryogenic long term storage freezer for your lab, we have the cryogenic equipment you need. |
|
At MiTeGen, we sponsor numerous events, conferences, workshops and symposiums throughout the year. These events include fields such as structural biology, crystallography, cryo-EM, beamline research and more. We believe in supporting researchers and our industry. Listed below are two upcoming events you might find interesting. |
|
 |
The Biophysical Society Annual Meeting is February 19th - 23rd. Format is in person. The meeting brings together leading scientists who work at the interface of the life, physical and computational sciences. We are exhibiting at booth number 904 and are attending the Cryo-EM subgroup meeting. |
|
|
|
The Royal Microscopical Society's Microscopy Characterisation of Organic-Inorganic Interfaces meeting is March 1st - 2nd. Format is virtual. Features discussions concerning the challenging but increasingly important topic of studying hybrid organic–inorganic materials. We are sponsoring and giving a talk. |

Looking For Cryo-EM Grids? |
|
If you are doing Cryo-EM research, you know how difficult it can be to get your hands on grids. Availability of grids changes constantly with some grids being in stock while others are backordered for months. Let us know what grids you need, and we'll advise you of their availability as well as inform you what we have in stock and ready to ship. |
