Sound velocity and elasticity of tetragonal lysozyme crystals by Brillouin spectroscopy.
Quasilongitudinal sound velocities and the second-order elastic moduli of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme crystals were determined as a function of relative humidity (RH) by Brillouin scattering. In hydrated crystals the measured sound velocities in the [110] plane vary between 2.12 +/- 0.03 km/s along the [001] direction and 2.31 +/- 0.08 km/s along the [110] direction. Dehydration from 98% ...
متن کاملSoaking: the effect of osmotic shock on tetragonal lysozyme crystals.
Protein crystals crack when they are soaked in a solution with ionic strength sufficiently different from the environment in which they grew. It is demonstrated for the case of tetragonal lysozyme that the forces involved and the mechanisms that lead to the formation of cracks are different for hypertonic and hypotonic soaking. Tetragonal lysozyme crystals are very sensitive to hypotonic shocks...
متن کاملProtein crystal growth. Growth kinetics for tetragonal lysozyme crystals.
A method for immobilizing protein crystals has been devised for determining face growth rates, and used to investigate the growth kinetics of hen egg white lysozyme crystals. Growth rates were determined at 22 degrees C in 0.1 M sodium acetate, 5% NaCl, pH 4.0, on the visually identified (110) face of tetragonal lysozyme crystals. Protein concentrations ranged from 13 to 57 mg/ml (saturation co...
متن کاملPEG-induced morphologically unstable growth of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme crystals
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is an often used crystallising agent in screening experiments for protein crystallisation conditions. To investigate the influence of poly(ethylene glycol)-4600 on the diffusion process during protein crystal growth, a series of in-situ optical microscopy experiments was performed in which the diffusion coefficient was changed by the addition of PEG. Depending on the...
متن کاملNon-thermal microwave effects on protein dynamics? An X-ray diffraction study on tetragonal lysozyme crystals.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the structural and dynamical effects of microwave fields on tetragonal single crystals of hen egg-white lysozyme at a resolution of 2.0 A. Using a modified slab-line waveguide allows on-line XRD to be carried out while the protein crystal is exposed to well defined microwave fields. High microwave power levels mainly lead to increased, but largely...
