About
Jae-Hee Jeong is a leading figure in macromolecular crystallography (MX), with a primary focus on advancing synchrotron beamline technology for structural biology. Their major contribution is the comprehensive upgrade of the BL-5C beamline at the Pohang Light Source II (PLS-II) in Korea, a 3 GeV facility. This work transformed BL-5C into a highly automated, in-vacuum undulator beamline dedicated to MX, delivering a high-flux X-ray beam of 7 × 10¹¹ photons/s with a precise focal spot of 200 µm × 40 µm over a versatile energy range of 6.5–16.5 keV. This achievement, detailed in their most-cited paper (2021, 5 citations), significantly enhances the capability for high-throughput protein structure determination, enabling researchers to solve complex biological macromolecules with greater efficiency. Jeong’s work is pivotal for the Korean structural biology community, providing a world-class resource that accelerates drug discovery and fundamental biological research. Their expertise in beamline optics and automation underscores their role in pushing the boundaries of synchrotron science, making them a key contributor to the infrastructure that drives modern structural biology.
