Hi Giorgio, there are beamlines dedicated to small molecule crystallography at synchrotrons as well. I can suggest I19 at Diamond (obviously) but there are others!

Subject: [ccp4bb] Collecting small-molecule diffraction on a Macromolecular xtallography beam line
Hello,
I have some interesting small molecule xtals.
I was wondering if it is possible to collect a small molecule data-set using a sincrotron macromolecular xtallography beam line, maybe with a very low beam intensity and moving the detector as close as possible?
Has anybody experienced that?
And if I get the images back home, can I process them using standard macromolecular software or do I need ab-initio special programs?
Will MR work for phasing?
Thanks in advance,
Giorgio
