Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) facility has finished the commissioning successfully and started user operation from 2016. The NCI experimental hutch, which is one of the hard X-ray experimental stations, has been designed and prepared to perform serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) experiments. We will present the current status of the sample...
We present first XUV-pump/XUV-probe transient absorption spectroscopy experiments conducted at the free-electron laser FLASH. Exploiting the partial temporal coherence of the stochastic light fields, this scheme provides access to transient changes in the XUV spectra which are related to dynamics of electronic bound states on a timescale below the average pulse duration. Those transient...
Myoglobin is a small protein consisting of a single polypeptide chain of 153 amino acid residues and a heme as its active center. It plays a central role in many biological functions based on detection, transport, release and/or binding of molecular ligands such as O2, CO, NO, CN, etc. The unligated high-spin form (deoxyMb) binds the ligand at the Fe of the heme, leading to a change to the...
With the advent of X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) femtosecond time resolved experiments employing advanced X-ray probe techniques have become routinely possible in a wide variety of scientific domains. A significant number of these experiments concerns the relaxation dynamics following an externally supplied excitation, which is typically realized by an electromagnetic pump pulse...
