About
Young Duck Yun is a leading figure in macromolecular crystallography, specializing in the development and operation of advanced synchrotron beamlines for structural biology. His primary research focuses on designing high-flux microfocus beamlines to enable the study of micrometre-sized protein crystals, a critical capability for determining the structures of challenging biological macromolecules. Yun’s major contribution is the development of the BL-11C Micro-MX beamline at Pohang Light Source II, an in-vacuum undulator-based facility that delivers exceptional photon flux for high-resolution diffraction experiments. This beamline, which became available to users in June 2017, supports energy tunability from 5.0 to 20 keV, allowing researchers to optimize data collection for a wide range of protein crystals. His work on BL-11C has been highly influential, with the key publication garnering 28 citations, reflecting its importance to the structural biology community. By providing a state-of-the-art resource for macromolecular crystallography, Yun has significantly advanced the field, enabling breakthroughs in understanding protein function and drug design. His achievements underscore his role as a key contributor to synchrotron science and its applications in life sciences.
