This paper uses photocaged molecular oxygen to trigger oxygen binding in myoglobin crystals and captures structural changes using time-resolved serial X-ray crystallography.

The paper demonstrates proof of concept for combined droplet on demand serial crystallography and XES experiments at a synchrotron beamline.

This study shows that shipping protein crystals at room temperature across long distances does not compromise diffraction quality for in situ X-ray diffraction experiments.
