Using small angle x-ray scattering data collected at the SIBYLS beamline and a computer-based approach, researchers designed porous protein crystals that were revealed to be stable, tunable, and atomically accurate. The work provides a powerful new platform for biological materials engineering and opens up wide applications in biotechnology and medicine.
