National Single Crystal X-Ray Facility

We offer crystal structure determinations to synthetic chemists at universities, institutes and companies

With our experienced staff, state-of-the-art equipment and advanced software we are able to handle a large variation of chemical compounds. In academic collaborations we contribute significantly to the preparation of scientific publications. Examples of our structural studies include model systems that mimic catalytic sites in proteins or synthetic catalysts to be used in the clean production of desired pharmaceuticals. For enantiopure compounds we are able to determine the absolute configuration, even in the absence of heavy atoms. Our modern equipment for protein crystallography enables us to perform screening experiments for protein crystallization and to optimize the results. Co-crystallization and soaking of pharmaceutical fragments is possible. The protein structure determination can be performed in-house.
