Photoreduction of the active site of the metalloprotein putidaredoxin by synchrotron radiation.
X-ray damage to protein crystals is often assessed on the basis of the degradation of diffraction intensity, yet this measure is not sensitive to the rapid changes that occur at photosensitive groups such as the active sites of metalloproteins. Here, X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to study the X-ray dose-dependent photoreduction of crystals of the [Fe(2)S(2)]-containing metalloprotein pu...
متن کاملEffects of folding on metalloprotein active sites (protein foldingyrack formationycytochrome cyazurinyelectron transfer)
Experimental data for the unfolding of cytochrome c and azurin by guanidinium chloride (GuHCl) are used to construct free-energy diagrams for the folding of the oxidized and reduced proteins. With cytochrome c, the driving force for folding the reduced protein is larger than that for the oxidized form. Both the oxidized and the reduced folded forms of yeast cytochrome c are less stable than the...
متن کاملSynchrotron Radiation and Pretzeled Orbits Geometry of Synchrotron Radiation Illumination
Turning on a `pretzel' , or any closed orbit distortion, can substantially alter the path of synchrotron radiation (SR), in some instances causing it to strike components not designed to absorb the radiation. In this paper I develop equations useful in determining the source position and angle of dipole SR as a function of the pretzel amplitude and angle. Formula for linear power deposition and...
متن کاملCan soaked-in scavengers protect metalloprotein active sites from reduction during data collection?
One of the first events taking place when a crystal of a metalloprotein is exposed to X-ray radiation is photoreduction of the metal centres. The oxidation state of a metal cannot always be determined from routine X-ray diffraction experiments alone, but it may have a crucial impact on the metal's environment and on the analysis of the structural data when considering the functional mechanism o...
متن کاملAdvanced microstructure products by synchrotron radiation lithography
Deep X-ray lithography using synchrotron radiation with a characteristic wavelength of about 1 3 A is a powerful tool to generate threedimensional microstructures in thick layers of polymeric resists. Resist reliefs produced in this way are used in the framework of the so called LIGA process, as precise templates to generate microdevices from metals, plastics, ceramic materials, and glasses. A ...
