SRCD<\/strong>: Cedro is the UV beamline of the Sirius synchrotron dedicated to electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Although, lab-based spectropolarimeters are widespread, the exchange of conventional lamps by the synchrotron light increases the value of CD technique. This spectroscopy is widely recognized for providing structural information on biomolecules, especially proteins. CD signal is sensitive to protein secondary structure and conformational changes upon ligand binding, mutation, interactions, and folding\/unfolding can be detected. In this mini-course, the advantages of synchrotron radiation for CD will be addressed, highlighting the applications to study biomolecules structural features.<\/p>\n

Micro-FTIR<\/strong>: The Imbuia station is the new synchrotron infrared beamline of the Sirius accelerator. It is a chemical probe able to study multidisciplinary materiais at micro and nano scales. The IMBUIA-micro station is an experimental setup dedicated to IR spectral-imaging exploring classical microscopy (diffraction limited analysis). The station explores mid-IR radiation from a blackbody source and also from the synchrotron storage ring Sirius in a commercial IR spectral microscope. Therefore, this new experimental complex will serve a diversity of scientific fronts including novel energy harvesting materials, drug delivery at nanoscale, biochemistry of single cells, nanophotonic devices for light circuits and more.<\/p>\n

Coherent X-Ray diffraction<\/strong>: The Cateret\u00ea beamline provides unique capabilities in biological and condensed matter imaging and dynamics experiments with particular focus on the application of coherent X-ray scattering and diffraction techniques. The beamline will make possible to answer diverse and multiple questions related to life sciences (biological and medical applications), structural biology (proteins, lipids, macromolecules) and the vast field of material sciences including nanotechnology.<\/p>\n
