X-ray diffraction is an extremely important tool for structure determination of biological macromolecules, to the extent that currently around 85% of Protein Data Bank entries result from X-ray measurements. Many of these structure determinations use synchrotron radiation for data collection. This article aims to give synchrotron users an overview of the functioning of a synchrotron beamline and how the performance of various instruments combines to allow the collection of diffraction data.
