X-RAY INSTRUMENTATION

ACCESS

NYX at NSLS-II

NYSBC designed, built, and now operates beamline NYX at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s NSLS-II synchrotron, as well as an in-house X-ray sources at NYSBC’s Manhattan facility. Combined with the 10,000-fold increase in X-ray brightness at NSLS-II, this improved instrumentation has made feasible experiments that were previously impossible.

NYSBC also operates the Research Services laboratory, a  full gene-to-structure pipeline dedicated to protein research with a full range of services from target selection, cloning, expression, purification, crystallization to structure determination. The Research Service Laboratory works with academic and for-profit scientists with a special emphasis on membrane proteins and difficult targets.
