At the Swiss Light Source at PSI, a recent addition to the sample delivery menu presents proteins to the beam in an acoustically levitated droplet, offering unique opportunities for drug binding studies as well as advantages in throughput. The latest development serves up rapidly spinning ‘hoverboards’ to hold delicate membrane protein crystals: a crucial step for drug discovery applications.
