Steve arrived at 10. John and Tricia set up the beamline. Steve borrowed a USB stick from Estella (thank you!) in order to record traces from the oscilloscope (Tek MSO2024B).
Samples
The following samples were grown in 24-well hanging-drop vapor diffusion trays:
| Name | Sample | Well composition | Drop composition | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mac1 (P43 space group) | SARS CoV2 NSP3 macrodomain and seed stock from UCSF. 40 mg/mL Mac1 in 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris pH 8, 5% glycerol | 32-34% (w/vol) PEG 3000 + 100 mM CHES (pH 9.5) | 1 µL protein + 1 µL well solution + 0.5 µL seed stock (10-4 dilution) | 24-well hanging-drop vapor diffusion tray (2026-06-15). See Katie L Ando Lab notebook pp. 53-54. |

Mac1 crystals in well D2, right drop of Katie L's tray dated 2026-06-15. Well solution: 34% PEG 3k, 100 mM CHES pH 9.5. Drop: 1 µL protein + 1 µL well solution + 0.5 µL seed stock (10-4 dilution). -

Mac1 crystals in well C2, right drop of Katie L's tray dated 2026-06-15. Well solution: 32% PEG 3k, 100 mM CHES pH 9.5. Drop: 1 µL protein + 1 µL well solution + 0.5 µL seed stock (10-4 dilution).
Beam stability measurement
First, steve opened the slits to 500 x 500 µm. The YAG screen was inserted at the sample position (versapin) and beam profile was visualized with the on-axis camera at ~100 Hz. A 10 second video was recorded

Then, steve narrowed the slits to 0.02 x 0.1 µm (v x h) and bumped the ICol gain to 500 pA/V. He recorded a trace on the scope (1 V/div, 200 ms/div).
T0003CH1.csvT0004CH1.csv(repeated for good measure)
The scope records data at a high rate, but for limited duration (2 seconds).
Next, record longer traces using the SPEC counter-timer board.
| prefix | scan number | command | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| flux_20x100 | 1 | tseries -1 0.03 | recorded 10,000 samples (8 minutes). No fills. |
| flux_20x100 | 2 | tseries -1 0.03 | started 20s before topoff, ended ~60s into new fill |
At the same time as scan #1, I recorded another scope trace: T0005CH1.csv.
Time series analysis of SPEC recordings

Time series analysis of oscilloscope data

Returned slits to 100 x 100 µm. Reset ICol gain to 2 nA/V.
Check the detector background after adding Pb tape and steel plate to clean up extra scattering.

It's interesting that the mosaic spread first increased when going from 295 to 280K, and then it slowly recovered until 295K_3, which has the same mosaic spread as the first dataset 295K_1. Is this telling us the time-dependence of recovery from a thermal shock, or perhaps it is accelerated by thermal annealing?
Warning
We noticed that the last batch of micro-RT tubings we ordered had many that were unsealed at the end. Come on, MiTeGen! Yikes. We tried to select the best ones, but were not 100% confident that they were sealed well. Steve discovered that you can re-seal them by heating a flat tweezer with a soldering iron (grab the soldering iron tip for ~20 seconds, then squeeze the tube for ~2 seconds). He went ahead and re-sealed all of the tubes. From now on, we're using the re-sealed tubes.

mac1_5_295K_1_oac_zoom1
Steve scooped up a bunch of crystals from well C2 using a micromesh + sleeve with 3 µL of well solution in the tip. The capillary is not clean, it got grease on the oustide. So this will not be so useful for diffuse scattering. The goal here is to see if the temperature-dependent changes we're seeing (wrt mosaicity, unit cell, etc) are observed for all crystals in the loop, or if changes are crystal-specific.
The goniometer positions for each crystal were saved as A-->H in SPEC, so that the illuminated crystal volumes can be identical at each temperature.

Snapped images every 30˚ using the on-axis camera at 1x zoom showing the entire loop (prefix: mac1_5_295K_1_oac_zoom1), and at each crystal position at 4x zoom.

multiple lattices
Diffraction collected at position C, F, and G have peaks from multiple lattices. I'll skip these on subsequent data collecitons.
diffraction peaks in background datasets
Most of the background datasets have diffraciton peaks, either from the dirty capillary or from nearby crystals on the loop. Use with caution.
Ramped temperature down to 280 K @ 120 K / hour.
Continue collection, but skip C, F, G

mac1_5E_295K_3_bg_2176 was a mistake. This dataset was taken at position D, not E. mac1_5E_295K_3_bg_2177 is the true E dataset.
