Status of macromolecular crystallography beamlines at SSRF

Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a third-generation 3.5 GeV synchrotron facility located on the Chinese mainland, operational for user applications since 2009. With the completion of its Phase II project this year, SSRF now supports over 40 experimental stations across various research fields. For the structural biology community, there are three macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines (BL02U1, BL17UM and BL10U2) and one endstation at the white X-ray beamline (BL03HB) managed by SSRF to meet the needs of both academic and industrial users seeking to determine macromolecular crystal structures. The MX group at SSRF is dedicated to continuously upgrading these beamlines in terms of technology and scientific capabilities. This paper reports on the current status of all the MX beamlines at SSRF and discusses emerging trends.
