About
Alejandro Enrique is a key figure in the development of synchrotron-based structural biology, with his research centered on macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamline design and operation. His most significant contribution is the development and commissioning of the BL13-XALOC beamline at the ALBA synchrotron near Barcelona—a facility that, since opening to users in 2012, has become the sole MX beamline at the 3-GeV site. Enrique’s work on XALOC has been instrumental in enabling high-throughput, automated diffraction experiments for medium-sized protein crystals, bridging the gap between advanced synchrotron capabilities and routine structural biology research. His 2014 paper detailing the beamline’s new developments and operation, while accruing 2 citations, reflects the specialized, foundational nature of his contributions—essential for the many downstream studies that rely on XALOC’s stable performance. By designing a beamline that balances automation with flexibility, Enrique has empowered researchers across Europe to solve protein structures more efficiently, cementing his role as a critical enabler of structural biology at ALBA.
