      abstract     = {Laser-induced alignment of particles and molecules was long
                      envisioned to support three-dimensional structure
                      determination using single-particle imaging with x-ray
                      free-electron lasers [PRL 92, 198102 (2004)]. However,
                      geometric alignment of isolated macromolecules has not yet
                      been demonstrated. Using molecular modeling, we analyzed and
                      demonstrated how the alignment of large nanorods and
                      proteins is possible with standard laser technology, and
                      performed a comprehensive analysis on the dependence of the
                      degree of alignment on molecular properties and experimental
                      details. Calculations of the polarizability anisotropy of
                      about 150,000 proteins yielded a skew-normal distribution
                      with a location of 1.2, which reveals that most of these
                      proteins can be aligned using appropriate, realistic
                      experimental parameters. Moreover, we explored the
                      dependence of the degree of alignment on experimental
                      parameters such as particle temperature and laser-pulse
                      energy.},
