What the tool is doing

Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography is described as a way to collect whole series of structural snapshots. The review frames these snapshots as inputs for molecular movies of membrane proteins in action.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Resources required

The abstract explicitly ties this method to pump-probe setups and high-viscosity injectors. It also presumes serial crystallography-compatible samples.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

It addresses the need to observe conformational dynamics and functional structural changes over time.

Source 1DOI PubMed

What it does not solve

The abstract does not state that it resolves all technical challenges or that it is universally applicable to all membrane proteins.

Source 1DOI PubMed

Alternatives

The abstract does not explicitly name alternative time-resolved structural methods.
