XRD2 Publications

Page 1 of 10

A list of publications in which data was collected at the XRD2 beamline. All these publications can be found (and added) in the publications area in the Virtual Unified Office (VUO) web page, after registration.

Every year, ELETTRA publishes 'ELETTRA Highlights' reporting a selection of the work done at the Laboratory during the last twelve months. In this page you will find a brief presentation of the experiments done at the XRD2 beamline and present in ELETTRA Highlights, along with other relevant results obtained at the beamline.

You can access XRD2 structures released on Protein Data Bank from our BioSync page or this link.
