Selecting Temperature for Protein Crystallization Screens Using the Temperature Dependence of the Second Virial Coefficient
Protein crystals usually grow at a preferable temperature which is however not known for a new protein. This paper reports a new approach for determination of favorable crystallization temperature, which can be adopted to facilitate the crystallization screening process. By taking advantage of the correlation between the temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient (B(22)) and the so...
متن کاملAb initio study of the second virial coefficient protein — protein on the basis of intermolecular potential energy surface
Intermolecular potential energy surface (IPS) for protein — protein has been examined using RHF, DFT-B3LYPand MP2 levels of theory with 6-31G, 6-31G* basis sets. A number of basis sets were used in order to evaluatethe basis set effects, at all three levels of theory, basis sets has significant effects on the calculated potentialenergy curves (including position, depth and width of the potentia...
متن کاملWhy is the osmotic second virial coefficient related to protein crystallization?
A molecular basis is presented for characterizing the osmotic second virial coefficient, B 22 , of dilute protein solutions, which provides a measure of the nature of protein—protein interactions and has been shown to be correlated with crystallization behavior. Experimental measurements of the second virial coefficient of lysozyme and bovine a-chymotrypsinogen A were performed by static light ...
متن کاملPredictive crystallization of ribonuclease A via rapid screening of osmotic second virial coefficients.
Important progress has been made in recent years toward developing a molecular-level understanding of protein phase behavior in terms of the osmotic second virial coefficient, a thermodynamic parameter that characterizes pairwise protein interactions. Yet there has been little practical application of this knowledge to the field of protein crystallization, largely because of the difficult and t...
متن کاملSolubility of lysozyme in the presence of aqueous chloride salts: common-ion effect and its role on solubility and crystal thermodynamics.
Understanding protein solubility is important for a rational design of the conditions of protein crystallization. We report measurements of lysozyme solubility in aqueous solutions as a function of NaCl, KCl, and NH4Cl concentrations at 25 degrees C and pH 4.5. Our solubility results are directly compared to preferential-interaction coefficients of these ternary solutions determined in the same...
