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!

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
