Abstract
With the advent of X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), time-resolved serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (TR-SFX) studies have become possible elucidating insight in protein dynamics of important processes such as photosynthesis or antibiotic resistance. A major factor limiting TR-SFX experiments are reliable injection technologies compatible with the liquid jet injection methods employed for SFX which allow fast mixing and reach suitable reaction time points. Here, we present the first 3D printed hybrid nozzle device injecting aqueous protein crystal jets after fast mixing (<5 ms), reaching reaction time points (~150 ms) suitable to resolve enzyme kinetics.
