About
Liqing Chen is a structural biologist whose work focuses on advancing the frontiers of protein crystallography, particularly through the development of methods for serial femtosecond X-ray nanocrystallography (SFX). Chen’s major contribution lies in pioneering a novel approach to screen for and characterize protein nanocrystals based on the reversibility of crystallization, a critical step for enabling high-resolution protein structure determination using X-ray free-electron lasers. This work, published in 2016, has garnered 3 citations and addresses a pressing need for robust sample preparation techniques in the field. By providing a method to identify and analyze nanocrystals, Chen has helped unlock the potential of SFX to solve structures of proteins that are difficult to crystallize using traditional methods. This achievement is particularly notable for its practical impact on structural biology, offering a pathway to study dynamic and complex biological macromolecules. Chen’s research continues to push the boundaries of how we visualize proteins at the atomic level, making significant strides in both methodology and application.
