Break-Through in Protein Crystallography

Databases in protein crystallography.

Applications of structural databases in the protein crystallographic structure determination process are reviewed, using mostly examples from work carried out by the authors. Four application areas are discussed: model building, model refinement, model validation and model analysis.

Triiodide derivatization in protein crystallography.

Methods for producing protein derivatives using cryosoak techniques with triiodide solutions are described. The methods have been tested using six different proteins. SAD/SIRAS phasing was attempted for each protein using data measured with conventional Cu Kalpha X-ray equipment and synchrotron radiation. Refinement of all six derivative structures showed that iodine is able to bind as I(-) (as...
