DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Martin Högbom (Stockholm University)\nHögbom\, M 1
 \n\n1. Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics\, Stockholm University\, 
 10691 Stockholm\, Sweden.\n\nHigh resolution structure determination metho
 ds suffer from problems with radiation damage. This is particularly proble
 matic for radiation sensitive states such as high-valent metal sites and r
 adicals. From a chemical perspective this means that some of the most rele
 vant states for catalysis in many enzyme systems are inaccessible to stand
 ard structure determination regimes. \nIn close collaboration with scienti
 sts at the LCLS and the LBNL we utilize a conveyor-belt sample injector th
 at allows micrometer-sized crystals to be manipulated in various ways\, in
 cluding oxygen incubation for a defined period of time\, before exposure t
 o the free-electron laser X-ray beam [1]. This setup allows varying the ti
 me for intermediate trapping while the use of femtosecond XFEL crystallogr
 aphy eliminates the effect of X-ray photoreduction on obtained data. Simul
 taneous XES also allows in situ oxidation state determination of probed in
 termediates for metalloprotein systems. \nThis setup and its use to obtain
  high-resolution global geometric structures of high-valent intermediates 
 will be discussed\, as well as our recent progress defining radiation unda
 maged structures of methane monooxygenase [2] and ribonucleotide reductase
  R2 proteins [3\,4] including the catalytic radical state [5].\n\n\nAcknow

 an essential process maintaining ion balance across cell membranes\, cell 
 growth\, and neuronal action potentials. However\, the molecular mechanism
  of the transport remains elusive. Among chloride transporters\, light-dri
 ven rhodopsins have gained attention as optogenetic tools to manipulate ne
 uronal signaling. We combined time-resolved serial crystallography at XFEL
  and synchrotron to provide a comprehensive view of chloride-pumping rhodo
 psin's structural dynamics and molecular mechanism throughout the transpor
 t cycle from 10 ps to 50 ms [1]. We traced transient anion binding sites\,
  obtained evidence for the mechanism of light energy utilization in transp
 ort\, and identified steric and electrostatic molecular gates ensuring uni
 directional transport. These structural insights provided the basis for mu
 tagenesis and functional study of the mechanistic features enabling finely
  controlled chloride transport across the cell membrane.\nFurthermore\, ou
 r recent study of a distinct photoreceptor\, Light-Oxygen-Voltage (LOV) do
 main\, will be introduced. The first insights into the structural dynamics
  of LOV photoactivation will be presented\, providing the basis for propos
 ing a molecular mechanism of a covalent thioether bond formation between a
  flavin mononucleotide cofactor and a reactive cysteine\, Cys57 (unpublish

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gayathri Yuvaraj (Lund University)\nIn standard crys
 tallographic refinement of proteins\, the experimental data are normally n
 ot enough to unambiguously decide the positions of all atoms. Therefore\, 
 the crystallographic data are supplemented by a set of empirical restraint
 s that ensure that bond lengths and angles make chemical sense. To obtain 
 more accurate results\, we have suggested that this potential can be repla
 ced by more accurate quantum-mechanical (QM) calculations for a small\, bu
 t interesting part of the protein\, giving the method of quantum refinemen
 t.1 Our group has shown that quantum refinement can locally improve crysta
 l structures\,2 decide protonation state of metal-bound ligands\,3–6 oxi
 dation state of metal sites\,7\,8 detect photoreduction of metal ions7\,9 
 and solve scientific problems regarding what is really is seen in crystal 
 structures.9–11 Several other groups have implemented this and similar a
 pproaches.12 We investigate how quantum refinement can be used for time-re
 solved crystallography. In time-resolved crystallography\, the obtained el
 ectron-density maps will typically involve a mixture of several states (un
 reacted state\, intermediates and products). Therefore\, the structures wi
 ll heavily depend on the empirical potential and the expectations of the c
 rystallographer. The QM calculations will give more accurate results\, esp
 ecially if there are intermediates with unusual (e.g. twisted) structures 
 or if metal sites are involved (which are hard to describe with general re
 straints). Moreover\, we will couple the structural interpretations with e
 xpectations from kinetic models of the studied reaction. I will present so
 me preliminary applications on cytochrome c oxidase\, xylose isomerase and
  bacteriorhodopsin.\n\nReferences\n1. U. Ryde\, L. Olsen\, K. Nilsson\, 20

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michal Kepa (Paul Scherrer Institute)\nThe transitio
 n from 3rd to 4th generation synchrotrons—featuring diffraction-limited 
 storage rings—has significantly expanded future possibilities for macrom
 olecular crystallography (MX). These upgrades\, characterized by reduced s
 ource divergence and increased electron bucket capacity\, have boosted bri
 lliance by up to two orders of magnitude. As a result\, next-generation MX
  beamlines\, such as ID29 (ESRF-EBS)\, BioCARS (APS-U)\, and MicroMAX (MAX
  IV)\, now deliver fluxes approaching 10^15 ph/s. These extremely high flu
 x (EHF) beamlines are increasingly optimized for time-resolved MX\, aiming
  for microsecond-scale resolution.\n\nOperating in previously unexplored d
 ose regimes (>50 GGy/s) raises new challenges. In my presentation\, I woul
 d like to share our study that focuses on beam-induced heating in microcry
 stals (<25 µm) exposed to EHF conditions. Thermal modeling indicates that
  such dose rates may cause significant temperature rises\, potentially imp
 acting data quality. Mitigation strategies include using top-hat beam prof
 iles and increasing both beam and crystal sizes to distribute dose more ev
 enly. The proposed model serves as a tool to support experimental design a
 nd optimize conditions for high-flux time-resolved MX. This of critical im
 portance for future multidimensional X-ray protein crystallography\, espec
 ially in enzymology\, where temperature is a key experimental variable. As
  such they will require precise temperature measurements\, as even a small
  change in temperature can affect the catalytic activity of an enzyme.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Hannah Glover (leadXpro)\nUsing time-resolved serial
  crystallography to observe structural snapshots of protein dynamics at hi
 gh resolution is a method that is becoming gradually more commonplace. Adv
 ancements in method development for this technique have allowed a wider ra
 nge of proteins to be studied\; looking at processes spanning endogenous p
 hotoresponses\, enzyme kinetics and ligand binding. G protein-coupled rece
 ptors represent a pharmacologically relevant superfamily of proteins that 
 are interesting targets for study with time-resolved serial crystallograph
 y. Data from time-resolved serial crystallography has the potential to enh
 ance the drug design process by revealing protein transitional states that
  can be either targeted or used to provide information about protein flexi
 bility. Our goal is to study the inherent dynamics of GPCRs critical for r
 eceptor function and to use this information to develop more targeted liga
 nds. Here\, we present the results of time-resolved serial crystallography
  experiments conducted at MaxIV and the SLS on the human A2a receptor. Thr
 ough synthetic photoswitches\, based on the marketed drug istradefylline f
 or the treatment of Parkinson’s disease\, light is used as a trigger to 
 investigate the dynamics associated with ligand dissociation from the rece
 ptor orthosteric binding pocket. Our time-resolved data highlights key str
 uctural features involved in the transition upon ligand photoswitching. Th
 is includes the rearrangement of extracellular loops 2 and 3 that form a l
 id over the binding pocket\, which has been shown by molecular dynamic sim
 ulations\, crystal structures and kinetic analyses to be crucial for ligan
 d dissociation and long target resident time. Additionally\, lessons learn
 ed from this investigation\, in terms of experimental design and sample pr
 eparation\, can be applied to future projects using GPCRs as targets for s
 erial crystallography. Helping to lower the barrier of entry to time-resol
 ved serial crystallography and ultimately leading to more rationally desig
 ned drugs.\n\n\nCo-authors:\nTorben Saßmannshausen\, Quentin Bertrand\, M
