Universität zu Lübeck to use an Oxford Diffraction Xcalibur PX Ultra system for Crystal Structural Studies of SARS Virus ProteinsThe Institut für Biochemie at the Universität zu Lübeck, Germany, acquires an Xcalibur PX Ultra system to accelerate its structural biology programme focusing on the SARS virusThe Institut für Biochemie at the Universität zu Lübeck has purchased Xcalibur PX Ultra to pursue its crystallographic studies of macromolecules from human pathogens of viral and bacterial origin involved in intracellular infections. Dr. Jeroen Mesters, Senior Research Assistant and Crystallography Team Leader, said of Xcalibur PX Ultra, “The perfect match to our in-house demands; an innovative, compact, low maintenance system, that goes clearly far beyond screening only!”. Rolf Hilgenfeld, director of the Institut für Biochemie, said that he was pleasantly surprised by the superb performance of the system. “I have relied on rotating-anode generators for 25 years and I would not have believed that a sealed-tube system can deliver such outstanding results”, he said. The Chief Executive of Oxford Diffraction Limited, Dr. Paul Loeffen, added “We are delighted that such a high profile institute doing such interesting work has decided to buy one of our Xcalibur PX Ultra systems. We eagerly look forward to seeing the results that will be generated”. The Institut für Biochemie at the Universität zu Lübeck has played an important role in the emerging understanding of the SARS virus having solved the crystal structure of the first coronavirus main proteinase ( Science 300, 1763-1767 ), and subsequently entered a collaboration with a group in China on inhibitor complexes (PNAS 100, 13190-13195). The joint project on SARS is funded by the European Commission and by the Sino-German Center for the Promotion of Science. |
