From powders to proteins: Improving diffraction science in Western Australia

该项目旨在建立基础设施，以改善西澳大利亚州的衍射科学。衍射科学使人们能够深入了解物质世界的结构，并对物理、化学、生物化学和工程产生影响。该项目将更新大分子单晶衍射领域的关键基础设施，并获得用于材料原位分析的粉末衍射基础设施。该项目预计将促进设计治疗细菌感染和癌症等人类疾病的新疗法，以及用于高效环保储能和自然资源回收的新材料。

This project aims establish infrastructure to improve diffraction science in Western Australia. Diffraction science enables a deep understanding of the structure of the material world with implications for physics, chemistry, biochemistry and engineering. This project will renew key infrastructure in the area of macromolecular single crystal diffraction and acquire powder diffraction infrastructure for in situ analyses of materials. The project is expected to facilitate the design of new therapeutics to treat human diseases such as bacterial infections and cancer, and new materials for efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage and natural resource recovery.
