Direct methods and protein crystallography at low resolution.
The tools of modern direct methods are examined and their limitations for solving protein structures discussed. Direct methods need atomic resolution data (1.1-1.2 A) for structures of around 1000 atoms if no heavy atom is present. For low-resolution data, alternative approaches are necessary and these include maximum entropy, symbolic addition, Sayre's equation, group scattering factors and el...
متن کاملAdvances in direct methods for protein crystallography.
Recent advances in ab initio direct methods have enabled the solution of crystal structures of small proteins from native X-ray data alone, that is, without the use of fragments of known structure or the need to prepare heavy-atom or selenomethionine derivatives, provided that the data are available to atomic resolution. These methods are also proving to be useful for locating the selenium atom...
متن کاملDirect methods for surface crystallography
In the most developed branches of crystallography, structure solution proceeds by two distinct steps: first, an approximate model of the structure is deduced directly from the measured data by an algorithm which assumes no preconceived model; second, a process of structure refinement simulates the experimental data for systematic variations of the parameters of such a model and determines a fin...
متن کاملIn-house low-resolution X-ray crystallography.
It is demonstrated that standard in-house protein crystal X-ray diffraction apparatus can be used to measure very low resolution reflections with only a few modifications. The apparatus and modifications are described in detail and tested on two different macromolecular crystal samples: lysozyme and the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contrast-variation measurements on tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme ...
متن کاملDirect observation of hydrogen atom dynamics and interactions by ultrahigh resolution neutron protein crystallography.
The 1.1 Å, ultrahigh resolution neutron structure of hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchanged crambin is reported. Two hundred ninety-nine out of 315, or 94.9%, of the hydrogen atom positions in the protein have been experimentally derived and resolved through nuclear density maps. A number of unconventional interactions are clearly defined, including a potential O─H…π interaction between a water mol...
