Since solution pr oteins are randomly oriented particles\, the scattering signal is purely o ne-dimensional so that the basic challenge is to develop methods able to e xtract three-dimensional structures from experimental data. X-rays interac t with the electron clouds of each atom\, neutrons are scattered by atomic nuclei (with different power for the isotopes of the same element): a wis ely chosen combination of SAXS and SANS experiments on the same sample is a strategy to increase the structural information that can be derived from data analysis methods.\nTwo examples of the application of small-angle sc attering on protein structure investigation are shown. The first example i s a SANS study of the solvation properties of lysozyme dissolved in water/ glycerol mixtures (2). To make detectable the characteristics of protein-s olvent interface\, 35 different experimental conditions (i.e.\, protein co ncentration\, water/glycerol fraction in the solvent\, content of deuterat ed compounds) have been considered and fitted with a global fit approach. \nIn the second example the new QUAFIT method for determining the quaterna ry structure of proteins assemblies by analysing SAXS or SANS data is pres ented (2-3). The method is based on the idea that asymmetric monomers\, fo rmed by rigid domains of known atomic structure are assembled according to a point group symmetry combined with a screw axis. In order to avoid any overlap among domains\, the “contact distance” between two asymmetric domains is determined as a function of their orientation by a novel algori thm. QUAFIT has been applied to study the structure of hemocyanin from Oct opus vulgaris\, a high molecular weight protein that shows a particular se lf-assembling pattern\, characterized by a hierarchical organization of mo nomers. A dataset of SAXS and SANS curves has been recorded under differen t pH values\, buffer compositions\, H2O/D2O ratios and Hofmeister's salts. The structures of the decamer and of the dissociated “loose” monomer have been identified by analysing SAS curves in the most and the least agg regative conditions\, respectively. Afterwards\, all the other curves have been analysed through QUAFIT\, by considering heterogeneous mixtures comp osed of the entire decamer\, the dissociated “loose” monomer and all t he intermediate dissociation products.\n\n1) R.

The limitations imposed by the partia l longitudinal coherence of SASE-FEL for getting selective chemical inform ation using single shot resonant (R-) CDI\, should be overcome by the seed ed FEL sources\, as FERMI@Elettra [2]. This opens unique opportunities for single-shot R-CDI experiments with access to elemental and/or magnetic st ructure of morphologically complex targets using the energy tunability and multiple (circular or linear) polarization of the fully coherent seeded F EL pulses. \nThe measurement station for CDI\, operating at the DiProI bea mline of the FERMI@Elettra\, is designed to meet the requirements for perf orming a wide range of static and dynamic studies and has been already com missioned using both synchrotron and FEL radiation [3]. This presentation will report the first CDI measurements illustrating the performance of the measurement station in single-shot CDI and the advent of tunability and m ultiple polarization of the FERMI pulses in resonant magnetic scattering a t Co M-absorption edges. Finally\, the unprecedented opportunity offered b y FERMI@Elettra source to performe jitter-free pump-probe experiments usin g both infrared laser and EUV/Soft-Xray pulses will be discussed. In parti cular recent results of a FEL-based two color pump and probe experiment at the Ti M-edge\, showing the XUV optical constant change under high power FEL irradiation will be presented [4]. \n\nFigures (See right)\n\nFigure . a) The end-station for Coherent Diffraction Imaging installed at the DiP roI FERMI@Elettra beamline b) Single shot diffraction pattern of Fermi@Ele ttra logo taken at 32.5 nm wavelength and its CDI reconstruction (inset).\ n\n[1] H.

Low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) has been widely employed in these investigation s\, giving access to the local morphology and crystal structure of few lay er graphene on different transition metals (TM) [1]. Energy-filtered photo emission electron microscopes (XPEEM) operating at third generation synchr otron light sources are nowadays able to complement LEEM's structure sensi tivity\, enabling us to obtain detailed information on the chemical state and electronic structure of both graphene and support while reaching a la teral resolution of only few tens of nm [2]. By implementing laterally res olved versions of the most popular photoelectron spectroscopies\, these ve rsatile microscopes offer us a powerful set of analytical surface characte rization tools\, microprobe angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (μ- ARPES) and low energy electron diffraction (μ-LEED) being the most freque ntly demanded. Importantly\, dark-field PEEM imaging methods have been rec ently demonstrated\, paving the way to laterally-resolved measurements of the local density of states in graphene films that are laterally inhomogen eous [3]. The current state and perspectives of XPEEM and related techniqu es will be illustrated by reporting recent results on graphene on various TMs. In particular\, I will highlight the potential of XPEEM in the study of graphene on supports with non-threefold symmetry such as Ir(100) [4\,5] .\n\n[1] K.L.

Lasers (FELs) are based on technologies develop ed for synchrotron light sources\, but the light produced has properties w hich are a unique combination of those of optical laser light (ultrashort pulses\, high intensity\, coherence)\, synchrotron light (short wavelength ) or both (variable polarization). These properties open new frontiers for research in several fields\, particularly coherent imaging\, dynamics and high field physics: the last two applications will be illustrated with so me recent results and planned experiments at the Low Density Matter end-st ation [1]. Nano clusters or droplets of helium excited by intense fields s how complex ionization dynamics [2]\, which may be relevant to other nano scale systems to be studied by FELs. Photodynamical processes are importan t in biological systems\, for example in the control of damage to DNA due to ultraviolet light. In the nucleobase adenine\, the photodynamics after UV absorption occur on a time scale comparable to or longer than the pulse length of FERMI (50-100 fs) [3]\, so that pump-probe experiments can reve al details of this important process. FERMI is a unique FEL source because it is seeded and temporally as well as (transverse) spatially coherent\, and this promises to inspire new experiments that cannot be performed at o ther FELs.\n[1] V.

Soft X-ray Microscopy coupled with spectroscopy can provide insightful simultaneous morphologic al and chemical information that help in the understanding of biochemical processes taking place at sub-micron scales. In the last few years the Twi nMic soft X-ray microscopy station [1] (400-2200 eV) installed at the Elet tra synchrotron has been attracting the interests of the Life Science comm unity thanks to its complementary imaging capabilities (brightfield and ph ase contrast) combined with low energy X-ray Fluorescence and X-ray absorp tion spectroscopy. Indeed the developed low energy XRF system [2] enables to correlate the specimen morphology with the elemental distribution of li ght elements (from B till P) and of transition metals for which the charac teristic emission lines fall in the 180-2100 eV energy range.\nThe most re cent outcomes in research fields such as neuroscience-neurodisease [3]\, n anotoxicology [4\,5\,6]\, clinical medicine [7\,8] and food science [9] wi ll be shown through selected results.\nThe implementation of novel TwinMic imaging modes is in progress and has been recently demonstrated by ptycho graphy with randomly phased illumination acquiring scans across the L abso rption edge of iron on fibroblast cells exposed to cobalt ferrite nanopart icles [10] and with Phase-diverse Fresnel coherent diffractive imaging of malaria parasite-infected red blood cells [11].\n\nReferences\n\n[1] B.

But the advent of modern third generation syn chrotron radiation sources in the early nineties has opened new possibilit ies for structural determinations on the nanoscale which were not possible in the past. The high brilliance of maschines like Elettra in Trieste all ows for fast time-resolved studies\, and permits also the investigation of materials that are very poor scatterers\, or are available only in small quantities.\n\nThe high-flux SAXS-beamline at ELETTRA has been designed sp ecifically for time-resolved diffraction on non-crystalline but partly ord ered samples like gels\, liquid crystals\, (bio)polymers\, amorphous mater ials\, muscles\, and proteins in solution. At e.g. 8 keV photon energy\, t he SAXS-resolution ranges from 1 to about 140 nm in d-spacing\, and the fl ux on the sample is up to 5x1012 photons/s. Simultaneously wide-angle diff raction measurements in the angular range of up to about 80o can be perfor med.\n\nAs an additional pre-requisite for time-resolved studies\, various techniques and instruments have been developed and implemented at the SAX S beamline to trigger transitions in samples with time resolutions down to the (sub-)ms regime. Possible parameters include temperature\, pressure\, shear\, mechanical stresses and chemical mixing. But the high brilliance is also advantageous in "static" SAXS experiments like scanning micro-spot applications (to study samples with high local spatial resolution down to 20 micron)\, or grazing incidence techniques like GISAXS\, GIXRD and Refl ectivity (to determine the structure of near-surface layers).\n\nAn overvi ew of recent technical developments and experimental results obtained at t he SAXS-beamline will be given for several representative sample systems.\ n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/13/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/13/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Biomedical imaging at the SYRMEP beamline of Elettra DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T033000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T040000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-12@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Giuliana Tromba (Elettra\, Trieste)\nThe SYnchrotron Radiation for MEdical Physics (SYRMEP) beamline at the Elettra light sour ce in Trieste has several years of activity in the life sciences.\nThe bea mline is equipped with two imaging stations for users’ experiments\, wit h monochromatic and white beam\, and a radiological unit for mammographic studies on patients.\nPhase contrast imaging in Free Propagation (FP) moda lity and Analyzer Based Imaging (ABI) are the most used imaging techniques . The beamline is well suited for imaging of small animals. For this purpo se a protocol\, based on FP microtomography (microCT)\, has been developed for the high resolution functional and morphological imaging of asthmatic mice. New staining procedures have been tested to increase the image cont rast and facilitate tissues differentiation. These were applied for imagin g of early atherosclerosis plaques formation in ApoE-deficient transgenic mice\, mimicking human atherosclerosis\, and for other purposes focused to image alterations in the morphology of mice brain.\nThe beamline is also extensively used for imaging engineered tissues and scaffolds\, by evaluat ing their bio-integration in terms of new bone formation and vascularizati on. \nFor most of the experiments\, single distance phase retrieval algori thms are applied to enhance the visibility of the different sample phases prior to the quantitative analysis. \nTo address the increased users’ re quests for a quantitative morphological and textural sample characterizati on\, Pore3D\, a software package for 3D image processing and analysis\, ha s been developed. In the last years the tool had a widespread application and now is also available for external users.\nThe mammography program wit h patients is focused on the development of a new protocol for tomography. The implementation of an innovative CdTe detector and the optimization of exam procedure with CT reconstruction algorithm are the main issues of th is project.\nThe talk will give an overview of the more recent results\, g iving a glance to the future development programs and research perspective s.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/12/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/12/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Patterning Protocols for Positioning Nanoporous Materials with Exc eptional Surface Area DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T054000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T061000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-11@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Paolo Falcaro (CSIRO)\nhttps://events01.synchrotron. org.au/event/0/contributions/11/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/11/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Phase-diverse Fresnel Coherent Diffractive Imaging of Cellular Spe cimens DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T001000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T003000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-10@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michael Jones (CXS - La Trobe University)\nhttps://e vents01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/10/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/10/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A soft x-ray branchline and endstation for high resolution imaging of material and biological samples DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T235000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140521T001000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-9@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mark Junker (La Trobe University)\nhttps://events01. synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/9/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/9/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Ptychographic Fresnel Diffraction Tomography at the Nanoscale DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T233000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T235000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-8@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nicholas Phillips (LTU/CXS)\nhttps://events01.synchr otron.org.au/event/0/contributions/8/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/8/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Natural and bio-inspired antibacterial surfaces DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T065000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T071000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-7@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Elena Ivanova (Swinburne Univeristy of Technology)\n Nature has developed numerous strategies for coping with bacterial infecti on. One such strategy\, employed by insects\, involves killing any cells t hat may attach to their wings by means of complex nanostructures. Cicada d ragonfly wings are both covered by an array of nanopillar-type structures that vary in their spatial patterning. In both cases the nanopillars ruptu re and kill bacterial cells\, however dragonfly wings are effective agains t a wider range of bacterial species. Based on this concept\, we tested bl ack silicon (bSi)\, a plasma-etched material originally developed for phot ovoltaic applications\, and found that bSi possesses similar nanostructure s to dragonfly wings\, and accordingly produces a similar bactericidal eff ect. These surfaces represent the first known examples of mechanobiocidal activity\; i.e. surfaces that kill cells through mechanical action alone w ith little or no influence from surface chemistry. Our most recent work ha s centred on the development of a new generation of mechanobiocidal surfac es\, based on the components naturally found in dragonfly wings. Recystall isation of fatty acids on graphite produces ordered microcrystal interface s which are also able to inactivate bacterial cells. These fatty acid-deri ved surfaces combine facile synthesis with inexpensive materials\, which w ill be of great benefit in a variety of antibacterial applications.\n\nhtt ps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/7/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy – from the micro to the n anoscale DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T065000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-6@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ljiljana Puskar (Australian Synchrotron)\nhttps://ev ents01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/6/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/6/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Characterisation of the IMBL wiggler-based X-ray beam for imaging/ tomography and radiotherapy studies DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T045000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T051000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-5@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Stevenson (Australian Synchrotron/ CSIRO)\nht tps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/5/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Organic electronics research performed on the soft X-ray spectrosc opy branchline at the Australian Synchrotron DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T024000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T030000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-4@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Lars Thomsen (Australian Synchrotron)\nhttps://event s01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/4/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/4/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bridging synchrotrons and supercomputers: Recent collaboration stu dies of bioactive compounds DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T022000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T024000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-3@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Feng Wang (Swinburne University of Technology)\nhttp s://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/3/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/3/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Transportation and accumulation of redox active species at the bur ied interfaces of plasticized membrane electrodes DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T020000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T022000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-2@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Roland De Marco (University of the Sunshine Coast)\n https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/2/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Quokka and food - Small-angle neutron scattering and discovering f ood structure at the nanoscale DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T001000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20140520T003000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260305T165456Z UID:indico-contribution-0-1@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Elliot Gilbert (ANSTO)\nhttps://events01.synchrotron .org.au/event/0/contributions/1/ LOCATION:Australian Synchrotron URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/0/contributions/1/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
