ABSTRACT: Beijing synchrotron radiation facility (BSRF) started in operation in 1990. After the upgrading completed in 2003, totally 13 beamlines are provided to the users. The research fields cover physics, chemistry, electronic, materials, geo-science, biology and medical application. Now Beijingˇˇelectron positron collider (BEPC) will upgrade to BEPCII, while BSRF will also improve. The research in the structure of protein in BSRF began right after the construction of the biological macromolecule crystallography beamline 3W1A. Besides the crystallography, other beamlines, such as XAFS (1W1A), SAXS(4B9B) and VUV-CD (3B1) also involved. More than 20 proteinˇˇstructures were determined and some research in the structure-function relationship of proteins are launched.ˇˇ
