Area Z: Central Service Z2: X-Ray Crystallography
Project Z2 provides state-of-the art facilities for X-ray crystallography analysis. It offers crystallization screening for all groups (soak-in or cocrystallization) and solves structures for complexes of partner proteins with their designed supramolecular ligands. Thus, it will support the iterative improvement of supramolecular binders by repeated cycles of crystallization, structure determination to reveal the binding mechanisms, and new rounds of synthesis.
