Protein crystallography 1. The frontiers of time-resolved macromolecular crystallography: movies and chirped X-ray pulses
Three important frontiers of ultrafast time-resolved macromolecular crystallography are presented: extension of this technique to other biological systems; further developments in the elucidation of mechanism through the analysis of time-dependent movies to extract the underlying, time-independent, intermediate structures; and enhanced time resolution. The last is intimately linked with the nat...
متن کاملThe X-ray Transform and its Application in Nano Crystallography
In this article a review on the definition of the X- ray transform and some ofits applications in Nano crystallography is presented. We shall show that the X- raytransform is a special case of the Radon transform on homogeneous spaces when thetopological group E(n)- the Euclidean group - acts on ℝ2 transitively. First someproperties of the Radon transform are investigated then the relationship ...
متن کاملPicosecond time-resolved X-ray crystallography: probing protein function in real time.
A detailed mechanistic understanding of how a protein functions requires knowledge not only of its static structure, but also how its conformation evolves as it executes its function. The recent development of picosecond time-resolved X-ray crystallography has allowed us to visualize in real time and with atomic detail the conformational evolution of a protein. Here, we report the photolysis-in...
متن کاملExcited-state structure by time-resolved X-ray diffraction.
X-ray crystallography has traditionally been limited to the study of the ground-state structure of molecules and solids. Recent technical advances are removing this limitation as demonstrated here by a time-resolved stroboscopic study of the photo-induced 50 micros lifetime excited triplet state of the [Pt(2)(pop)(4)](4-)ion [pop = pyrophosphate, (H(2)P(2)O(5))(2-)], performed at helium tempera...
متن کاملDynamic structural science: recent developments in time-resolved spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
To understand the mechanism of biological processes, time-resolved methodologies are required to investigate how functionality is linked to changes in molecular structure. A number of spectroscopic techniques are available that probe local structural rearrangements with high temporal resolution. However, for macromolecules, these techniques do not yield an overall high-resolution description of...
