The following news release was originally issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory. This joint Air Force Research Laboratory – Case Western Reserve University (AFRL-CWRU) program makes use of the X-ray Footprinting of Biological Materials (XFP) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), as well as other Structural Biology beamlines at NSLS-II. The goal is to understand the structural interactions between candidate biosensors and biological molecules (biomarkers) linked with stress and fatigue in humans. The XFP beamline is operated by the CWRU Center for Synchrotron Biosciences in partnership with NSLS-II, and is part of an integrated group of resources for synchrotron structural biology located at NSLS-II, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE s Brookhaven National Laboratory.
