Lifetimes and spatio-temporal response of protein crystals in intense X-ray microbeams
Serial synchrotron-based crystallography using intense microfocused X-ray beams, fast-framing detectors and protein microcrystals held at 300 K promises to expand the range of accessible structural targets and to increase overall structure-pipeline throughputs. To explore the nature and consequences of X-ray radiation damage under microbeam illumination, the time-, dose- and temperature-depende...
متن کاملPrimary radiation damage of protein crystals by an intense synchrotron X-ray beam.
X-ray radiation damage of a lysozyme single crystal by an intense monochromatic beam from a third-generation radiation source at the Advanced Photon Source has been studied. The results show that primary radiation damage is linearly dependent on the X-ray dose even when the crystal is at cryogenic temperatures. The existence of an upper limit for the primary radiation damage was observed. Above...
متن کامل[4] X-Ray Diffraction of Protein Crystals
The X-ray study of protein crystals is a difficult and highly specialized field. Eventually, when the structure of a few proteins has been unraveled, the results will be of vital interest to ensytiologists, since they should give information about the spatial arrangement of the “active site” of the enzyme. But meanwhile X-ray methods will have only a secondary interest for enzymologists. The eq...
متن کاملCompressibility of lysozyme protein crystals by X-ray diffraction.
Single-crystal high-pressure X-ray diffraction studies on the protein crystals of orthorhombic and tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme polymorphs were carried out using a Merrill-Bassett diamond-anvil cell, image-plate detector and synchrotron radiation. The orthorhombic crystal has been squeezed to 85.5% of its ambient pressure volume at about 1.0 GPa; the crystal compresses anisotropically, and...
متن کاملCoherent X-ray diffractive imaging of protein crystals.
The technique of coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI) has recently shown great promise for the study of inorganic nanocrystals. In this work the CXDI method has been applied to the study of micrometer-size protein crystals. Finely sampled diffraction patterns of single crystals were measured and iterative phase-retrieval algorithms were used to reconstruct the two-dimensional shape of the ...
