Next-generation synchrotron radiation sources, such as X-ray free-electron lasers, energy recovery linacs, and ultra-low-emittance storage rings, are catalyzing novel methods of biomolecular microcrystallography and solution scattering. These methods are described and future trends are predicted. Importantly, there is a growing realization that serial microcrystallography and certain cutting-edge solution scattering experiments can be performed at existing storage ring sources by utilizing new technology. In this sense, next-generation sources are serving two distinct functions, namely, provision of new capabilities that require the newer sources and inspiration of new methods that can be performed at existing sources.

受下一代X射线源启发的生物结构科学。

下一代同步加速器辐射源，例如X射线自由电子激光器，能量回收直线加速器和超低发射率存储环，正在催化生物分子微晶体学和溶液散射的新方法。描述了这些方法并预测了未来的趋势。重要的是，人们越来越认识到，通过利用新技术，可以在现有的存储环源上进行串行微晶体学和某些尖端的溶液散射实验。从这个意义上讲，下一代源正在发挥两个不同的功能，即提供需要更新源的新功能和启发可以在现有源执行的新方法。
