Funding Acknowledgements

FEL experiments were carried out at LCLS in June 2010 (TbCatB) and in August 2011 (TbIMPDH), a national user facility operated by Stanford University on behalf of the US Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The X-ray diffraction experiments on recrystallized TbCatB crystals were carried out at beamline X06DA of the Swiss Light Source (Villigen, Switzerland). This work was supported in part by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), from the Swedish Research Council, from the Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse, from the European Research Council, as well as by US National Science Foundation award MCB-1021557. R. K. received a fellowship from the Landesgraduiertenforderung Baden-Wurttemberg. L. R., D. Rehders and C. Betzel thank the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research for funding (grants 01KX0806 and 01KX0807). Support from the Hamburg Ministry of Science and Research and Joachim Herz Stiftung as part of the Hamburg Initiative for Excellence in Research and the Hamburg School for Structure and Dynamics in infection, and from the DFG Cluster of Excellence "Inflammation at Interfaces" (EXC 306) is gratefully acknowledged. Funding for the development and operation of the CFEL-ASG multipurpose (CAMP) instrument within the Advanced Study Group at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science was provided by the Max Planck Society. M.J.B., R. G. S. and C.Y.H. acknowledge funding from the US Department of Energy Office of Basic Energy Sciences through the Photon Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering (PULSE) Institute at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) National Accelerator Laboratory.
