How X-ray crystallography can help to fight SARS-CoV-2 | Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kristallographie
Written by Tatjana Barthel Macromolecular Crystallography group at BESSY II). The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pushed all of us into a very complicated situation, especially with strict regulations and certain lockdown periods. Performing science became challenging in these last weeks, but at the same time it is of great importance in order to fight the virus. In the development of drugs against SARS-CoV-2 X-ray crystallography plays a key role.. One field of X-ray crystallography is protein crystallography. Proteins can form crystals just as small molecules, metals and salts. The array of ordered protein molecules inside a protein crystal leaves gaps that are filled by disordered solvent molecules, i.e. mostly water. These so called solvent channels enable small molecules to enter the protein crystals and reach the individual protein molecules. Thus, protein crystals can be used for drug development, by probing them with small molecules in order to find out if and how the molecules bind to the ...

Structural Biochemistry/X-ray Crystallography - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
X-ray crystallography is a technique used by biochemist to determine the three dimensional structure of an enzyme, protein, molecule, etc. Although the technique requires the molecule to be able to be crystallized it has helped scientist discover how drugs can prevent certain enzyme from reacting. By determining the three dimensional structure of the protein or enzyme scientists can determine how enzyme folds and binds. From that information, scientists can design certain drugs that only stop that enzyme. For example, scientists used x-ray crystallography to determine the structure of the COX enzyme that is responsible for arthritis. Now that the scientists know the three dimensional structure of the COX enzyme, they can create drugs that would be able to stop it, such as aspirin. Therefore X-ray crystallography is a powerful tool that biochemist and scientists can use to discover new drugs that can prevent certain enzymes from activating.. ...

I just finished reading your oped article on reproducibility in science. As an experimental scientist - more precisely a chemical crystallographer - I have had to deal with this kind of situation a number of times, and at least two examples may serve as the possible exceptions to your rules.. One of the beauties of x-ray crystallography is the internal self-consistent confirmation of the result of an x-ray crystal structure determination. X-ray crystal structure determinations are today used (increasing required by journals) as essentially absolute proof of the molecular structure of a new compound. With the result of a determination there is no doubt that the crystal from which the data were obtained contained molecules with the composition and structure that can be represented by a three dimensional ball and stick model. There occasionally are some problems with measurements and refinements of structures, but they are a very, very small fraction of the mass of crystal structures (now nearing ...
IUCr) DNA conformational transitions inferred from re-evaluation of m|Fo| − D|Fc| electron-density maps
where Nall is the total number of atoms and Npeak is the number of atoms which contain one or more peaks within 2.2 Å of the atom.. In order to analyse the effect of X-ray resolution, m,Fo, − D,Fc, electron-density maps were generated at five different resolutions as follows. The same X-ray refinements as those in the above procedure were performed for DNA crystal structures solved at a resolution equal to or better than 2.5 Å. The m,Fo, − D,Fc, map was calculated at 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.9 and 2.5 Å resolution for data of ≤1.0, 1.0-1.25, 1.25-1.5, 1.5-1.9 and 1.9-2.5 Å resolution, respectively. A search was made for peaks in the maps in the same way as above.. In this study, the r.m.s. of densities (σ) was used to distinguish peaks from noise. The density of electrons (e Å−3) can also be used and this different measure might give a different result. We then investigated the variation of electron density corresponding to 1σ in the electron-density maps. Supplementary Fig. S2 shows the ...
Crystallography</span> </span>
X-ray crystallography is the major method for structure determination of macromolecules. About 85% of all known structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Knowing the structure of a protein helps in understanding better how the protein works, how it interacts with other proteins and small molecules in the cell and what kind of conformational changes it undergoes to exert its function. Even subtle changes in protein structures can have tremendous consequences on human health, causing serious diseases. A major application therefore of X-ray crystallography is in the design of new drugs.. A crystal structure determination is not a trivial task. It mainly involves five steps with the first two being the most difficult (bottlenecks):. ...

Lab Source Anomalous Scattering Using Cr Kα Radiation
ABSTRACT. High-throughput crystallography requires a method by which the structures of proteins can be determined quickly and easily. Experimental phasing is an essential technique in determining the three-dimensional protein structures using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In macromolecular crystallography, the phases are derived either by Molecular Replacement (MR) method using the atomic coordinates of a structurally similar protein or by locating the positions of heavy atoms that are intrinsic to the protein or that have been added (MIR, MIRAS, SIR, SIRAS, MAD and SAD). Availability of in-house lab data collection sources (Cu Kα and Cr Kα radiation), cryo-crystallography and improved software for heavy atom location and density modification have increased the ability to solve protein structures using SAD. SAD phasing using intrinsic anomalous scatterers like sulfur, chlorine, calcium, manganese and zinc, which are already present in the protein becomes increasingly attractive owing to ...

SMART: ProQ domain annotation
The conjugative transfer of F-like plasmids is repressed by FinO, an RNAbinding protein. FinO interacts with the F-plasmid encoded traJ mRNA andits antisense RNA, FinP, stabilizing FinP against endonucleolyticdegradation and facilitating sense-antisense RNA recognition. Here wepresent the 2.0 A resolution X-ray crystal structure of FinO, lacking itsflexible N-terminal extension. FinO adopts a novel, elongated, largelyhelical conformation. An N-terminal region, previously shown to contactRNA, forms a positively charged alpha-helix (helix 1) that protrudes 45 Afrom the central core of FinO. A C-terminal region of FinO that isimplicated in RNA interactions also extends out from the central body ofthe protein, adopting a helical conformation and packing against the baseof the N-terminal helix. A highly positively charged patch on the surfaceof the FinO core may present another RNA binding surface. The results ofan in vitro RNA duplexing assay demonstrate that the flexible N-terminalregion of FinO ...

Why this is my favorite X-ray crystal structure: The beautiful, strikingly unique structure of B-rhombohedral boron has successfully withstood numerous challenges of its correctness and has for a half century experienced nearly constant investigations of its structurally implied material characteristics. Arguably the most important of the several known phases of elemental boron, this form has been found to be experimentally stable from absolute zero to its melting point. Detailed consideration of the 5-foldness of its numerous discrete and merged 12-atom regular icosahedral motifs and their extended 84-atom truncated icosahedral arrays has forced a significant modification of chemical bonding theory in attempts to explain the low density, high strength, high melting, semiconducting and other notable properties of this low atomic number element. Even the observed partial occupancy of one of its 6-fold Wyckoff sets of atoms within the structure appears to be correct and to imply intriguing ...
CiteSeerX - 2007 . Phaser crystallographic software
CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Phaser is a program for phasing macromolecular crystal structures by both molecular replacement and experimental phasing methods. The novel phasing algorithms implemented in Phaser have been developed using maximum likelihood and multivariate statistics. For molecular replacement, the new algorithms have proved to be significantly better than traditional methods in discriminating correct solutions from noise, and for single-wavelength anomalous dispersion experimental phasing, the new algorithms, which account for correlations between F + and F, give better phases (lower mean phase error with respect to the phases given by the refined structure) than those that use mean F and anomalous differences F. One of the design concepts of Phaser was that it be capable of a high degree of automation. To this end, Phaser (written in C++) can be called directly from Python, although it can also be called using traditional CCP4 keyword

Chimera-users] Ringer: A program to detect molecular motions by systematic X-ray electron-density sampling
The Alber lab at UC Berkeley is pleased to release of the code for Ringer version 1.0 (http://ucxray.berkeley.edu/ringer.htm), which depends on Chimera. Ringer is a program to detect molecular motions by systematic X-ray electron-density sampling. The aim of Ringer is to go beyond static structural snapshots of proteins by uncovering structural ensembles in X-ray electron density. This information can reveal not only which parts of proteins are flexible and which parts are rigid, but it also can define alternate conformations that may be important for function. Alternate conformations of binding sites also may afford additional targets for drug design. The Ringer method is described in Lang et al. /Protein Sci/. 2010 Jul; 19(7):1420-31 ,http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20499387,. An application of Ringer, determining the structural underpinnings of the side chain dynamics critical for the function of the enzyme proline isomerase, was published in Fraser JS et al. /Nature/. 2009 Dec ...

The Chemical Crystallography Service is run in two parts: the analytical service and the DIY service which includes some 40 trained users. It is a special feature of the X-ray crystallography laboratory in Oxford that hands-on crystallography is promoted. Initially researchers who want to determine their own structures complete a minimal practical health and safety course and are invited to attend crash-courses on crystal structure analysis. Following tailored one-to-one training in the use of the instrumentation, structure solution/refinement software, preparing files for publication and validation, data can be collected unsupervised, although help is always available in case of difficulties. Some examples of structures published by The Service are shown left.. In addition to the in-house instrumentation, we also have regular access to the Small Molecule Beamline at the Diamond Light Source, I19 (bottom left) under the Block Allocation System.

The 220 kDa dimeric cytochrome b6f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis provides the electronic connection between the two reaction centers, Photosystems I and II that are, respectively, coupled to NADP+ reduction and oxygen evolution. The electron transport functions of the b6f complex are coupled to proton transfer and generation of a trans-membrane proton electrochemical gradient, by mechanisms similar to those of the cytochrome bc1 complex of the respiratory chain and the photosynthetic bacteria, whose protein core is similar to that of the b6f complex. Prior to X-ray crystal structure analysis, each monomeric unit of the complex was known to contain six bound prosthetic groups, three hemes (f, two hemes b, bp and bn), one [2Fe-2S] cluster, and one molecule each of chlorophyll-a and carotene. Crystal structure analysis of the b6f complex from a green alga and a thermophilic cyanobacterium revealed the presence of an additional heme cn in the complex, which is covalently bound on the ...
Structure of the ATP synthase catalytic complex (F(1)) from Escherichia coli in an autoinhibited conformation. | MRC...
ATP synthase is a membrane-bound rotary motor enzyme that is critical for cellular energy metabolism in all kingdoms of life. Despite conservation of its basic structure and function, autoinhibition by one of its rotary stalk subunits occurs in bacteria and chloroplasts but not in mitochondria. The crystal structure of the ATP synthase catalytic complex (F(1)) from Escherichia coli described here reveals the structural basis for this inhibition. The C-terminal domain of subunit ɛ adopts a heretofore unknown, highly extended conformation that inserts deeply into the central cavity of the enzyme and engages both rotor and stator subunits in extensive contacts that are incompatible with functional rotation. As a result, the three catalytic subunits are stabilized in a set of conformations and rotational positions distinct from previous F(1) structures.. ...

S100B is a homodimeric zinc-, copper-, and calcium-binding protein of the family of EF-hand S100 proteins. Zn(2+) binding to S100B increases its affinity towards Ca(2+) as well as towards target peptides and proteins. Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) bind presumably to the same site in S100B. We determined the structures of human Zn(2+)- and Ca(2+)-loaded S100B at pH 6.5, pH 9, and pH 10 by X-ray crystallography at 1.5, 1.4, and 1.65Å resolution, respectively. Two Zn(2+) ions are coordinated tetrahedrally at the dimer interface by His and Glu residues from both subunits. The crystal structures revealed that ligand swapping occurs for one of the four ligands in the Zn(2+)-binding sites. Whereas at pH 9, the Zn(2+) ions are coordinated by His15, His25, His 85, and His 90, at pH 6.5 and pH 10, His90 is replaced by Glu89. The results document that the Zn(2+)-binding sites are flexible to accommodate other metal ions such as Cu(2+). Moreover, we characterized the structural changes upon Zn(2+) binding, which ...

Structure of ATP synthase from Paracoccus denitrificans determined by X-ray crystallography at 4.0 Å resolution | PNAS
The structure of the intact ATP synthase from the α-proteobacterium Paracoccus denitrificans, inhibited by its natural regulatory ζ-protein, has been solved by X-ray crystallography at 4.0 Å resolution. The ζ-protein is bound via its N-terminal α-helix in a catalytic interface in the F1 domain. The bacterial F1 domain is attached to the membrane domain by peripheral and central stalks. The δ-subunit component of the peripheral stalk binds to the N-terminal regions of two α-subunits. The stalk extends via two parallel long α-helices, one in each of the related b and b′ subunits, down a noncatalytic interface of the F1 domain and interacts in an unspecified way with the a-subunit in the membrane domain. The a-subunit lies close to a ring of 12 c-subunits attached to the central stalk in the F1 domain, and, together, the central stalk and c-ring form the enzymes rotor. Rotation is driven by the transmembrane proton-motive force, by a mechanism where protons pass through the interface ...

article{2f5ed112-7711-4829-944a-2b87a0437947, abstract = {SUMMARY: The bacterial ω-transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum (Cv-ωTA, EC 2.6.1.18) catalyzes industrially important transamination reactions by use of the coenzyme pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP). Here, we present four crystal structures of Cv-ωTA: two in the apo form, one in the holo form and one in an intermediate state, at resolutions between 1.35 and 2.4 Å. The enzyme is a homodimer with a molecular weight of approximately 100 kDa. Each monomer has an active site at the dimeric interface that involves amino acid residues from both subunits. The apo-Cv-ωTA structure reveals unique relaxed conformations of three critical loops involved in structuring the active site, that have not previously been seen in a transaminase. Analysis of the four crystal structures reveals major structural rearrangements involving elements of the large and small domains of both monomers that reorganize the active site in the presence of PLP. The ...

Structure solution from powder data of the phosphate hydrate tinticite | European Journal of Mineralogy | GeoScienceWorld
The crystal structure of the mineral tinticite has been solved by direct methods from integrated intensities of X-ray powder diffraction data and subsequently refined with the Rietveld technique. The sample used for the structure solution comes from the Gavá-Bruguers area (20 km SW of Barcelona), which contains a large variety of phosphates, some of which were exploited in gallery mines during the ancient neolithic. Tinticite crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with unit cell parameters a = 7.965(2) Å, b = 9.999(2) Å, c = 7.644(2) Å, α = 103.94(2)°, β = 115.91(2)°, ω = 67.86(2)° and cell content Fe3+5.34(PO4)3.62(VO4)0.38(OH)4·6.7 H2O; ρexp = 2.94 g/cm3; ρcale = 2.88 g/cm3. The Rietveld refinement of the data set converged to Rwp = 13.1 % and χ2 = 3.3. Due to the complexity of the disorder in this structure, the refined structure model could only account for part of it.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of human thioredoxin peroxidase-B from red blood cells. - Semantic Scholar
Two different crystal forms of human thioredoxin peroxidase-B have been grown by vapour diffusion using polyethylene glycol 400 as a precipitant. Monoclinic P21 crystals were grown from freshly purified protein, whilst orthorhombic P212121 crystals were grown from purified protein that had been stored in ammonium sulfate, but otherwise under the same conditions. The diffraction from both crystal forms was observed to extend to beyond 2.0 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. Complete native data sets to 1.8 and 3. 7 A have been collected from the monoclinic and orthorhombic crystals, respectively.
X-ray crystallography - Wikipedia
Protein crystals are almost always grown in solution. The most common approach is to lower the solubility of its component molecules very gradually; if this is done too quickly, the molecules will precipitate from solution, forming a useless dust or amorphous gel on the bottom of the container. Crystal growth in solution is characterized by two steps: nucleation of a microscopic crystallite (possibly having only 100 molecules), followed by growth of that crystallite, ideally to a diffraction-quality crystal.[103] The solution conditions that favor the first step (nucleation) are not always the same conditions that favor the second step (subsequent growth). The crystallographers goal is to identify solution conditions that favor the development of a single, large crystal, since larger crystals offer improved resolution of the molecule. Consequently, the solution conditions should disfavor the first step (nucleation) but favor the second (growth), so that only one large crystal forms per droplet. ...

Synthesis, characterization, single crystal structure and theoretical studies of trans-Ni(II)-complex with dithiophosphonate...
A novel metal-organic planar NiS4 - type complex, trans-Ni(II)-bis[O-(2-butoxyethyl)-(4-methoxyphenyl)dithiophosphonate], was synthesized by the reaction of ammonium salt of O-dithiophosphonic acid with Ni(CH3COO)(2). The crystal structure of Ni(II)-complex was determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. As a result of the X-ray crystal and molecule structure analyses of the studied trans-Ni(II)-complex, it was obtained that the central nickel atom is coordinated by four sulphur atoms in slightly distorted a square-planar geometry. The X-ray structure confirms a trans isomer of the Ni(II)complex. The Ni(II)-complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C12/c1 with unit cell parameters a 22.376(3) (angstrom), b 18.466(3) (angstrom) and c 8.6875(13) (angstrom). In addition, theoretical calculations with the basis set of B3LYP/6-311 + G(2d,p) are performed to determine the structural properties, FT-IR, NMR spectrum, electronic properties and NBO analysis of the compound.

N2 - The Human Phosphate Binding Protein (HPBP) is a serendipitously discovered apolipoprotein from human plasma that binds phosphate. Amino acid sequence relates HPBP to an intriguing protein family that seems ubiquitous in eukaryotes. These proteins, named DING according to the sequence of their four conserved N-terminal residues, are systematically absent from eukaryotic genome databases. As a consequence, HPBP amino acids sequence had to be first assigned from the electronic density map.

Electron crystallography - wikidoc
Electron crystallography is a method to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids using an electron microscope. It can complement X-ray crystallography on proteins, such as membrane proteins, that cannot easily form the large 3-dimensional crystals required for that process. Structures are usually determined from either 2-dimensional crystals (sheets or helices), polyhedrons such as viral capsids, or dispersed individual proteins. Electrons can be used in these situations, whereas X-rays cannot, because electrons interact more strongly with atoms than X-rays do. Thus, X-rays will travel through a thin 2-dimensional crystal without diffracting significantly, whereas electrons can be used to form an image. Conversely, the strong interaction between electrons and proteins makes thick (e.g. 3-dimensional) crystals impervious to electrons, which only penetrate short distances. One of the main difficulties in X-ray crystallography is determining phases in the diffraction pattern. Because no X-ray ...

N2 - PqqB is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone and a distal member of the metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) superfamily. PqqB lacks two residues in the conserved signature motif HxHxDH that makes up the key metal-chelating elements that can bind up to two metal ions at the active site of MBLs and other members of its superfamily. Here, we report crystal structures of PqqB bound to Mn2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+. These structures demonstrate that PqqB can still bind metal ions at the canonical MBL active site. The fact that PqqB can adapt its side chains to chelate a wide spectrum of metal ions with different coordination features on a uniform main chain ...

Single crystals of CaGeO3 garnet were synthesized at 3 GPa and 1000 °C using a cubic anvil type of high pressure apparatus and the crystal structure was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. This garnet is tetragonal with lattice parameters of a = 12.535(2) Å, c = 12.370(2) Å, V = 1943.5(5) Å3 and belongs to space group I41/a. Two dodecahedral sites are occupied only by Ca with mean Ca-O bond lengths of 2.480(4) and 2.467(4) Å. The Ca and Ge cations are completely ordered at two octahedral sites with mean Ca-O = 2.301(3) Å and mean Ge-O = 1.910(3) Å. Three tetrahedral sites are occupied only by Ge, and their mean Ge-O bond lengths are 1.753(3), 1.787(4), and 1.764(4) Å. Furthermore, the present tetragonal garnet has an unusual feature in that the mean value [2.704(5) Å] of the shared edge lengths of GeO6 octahedron is larger than that [2.699(5) Å] of the unshared ones, as has also been observed for other tetragonal garnets with I41/a. ...

Paper: Structural Analysis of a Streptococcal Domain of Unknown Function(DUF1792) (AADR Annual Meeting (March 21-24, 2012))
Serine-rich repeat proteins (SRRPs) belong to a growing family of bacterial adhesins required for biofilm formation and pathogenesis. Fap1 from Streptococcus parasanguinis is the first SRRP identified. A number of genes involved in Fap1 glycosylation have been characterized. Glycosyltransferases Gtf1, Gtf2 and Gtf3 catalyze the first and second steps of Fap1 glycosylation. A glycosyltransferase, GalT1, catalyzes the third step of Fap1 glycosylation. At the N-terminus of GalT1, there is a domain of unknown function 1792 (DUF1792) that is highly conserved in bacteria and may constitute a broad protein superfamily, however its function is unknown. Objective: Solve 3-D structure of DUF1792 to determine the function of the domain Method: The recombinant DUF1792 protein was purified via Ni2+ affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method was used for the crystallization trials. The structure was determined by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) utilizing Se ...

DIGITAL.CSIC: Life in the fast lane for protein crystallization and X-ray crystallography.
The common goal for structural genomic centers and consortiums is to decipher as quickly as possible the three-dimensional structures for a multitude of recombinant proteins derived from known genomic sequences. Since X-ray crystallography is the foremost method to acquire atomic resolution for macromolecules, the limiting step is obtaining protein crystals that can be useful of structure determination. High-throughput methods have been developed in recent years to clone, express, purify, crystallize and determine the three-dimensional structure of a protein gene product rapidly using automated devices, commercialized kits and consolidated protocols. However, the average number of protein structures obtained for most structural genomic groups has been very low compared to the total number of proteins purified. As more entire genomic sequences are obtained for different organisms from the three kingdoms of life, only the proteins that can be crystallized and whose structures can be obtained ...

The structure of the synthetic deoxyoctamer d(GGIGCTCC) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques to a resolution of 1.7A. The sequence crystallises in space group P6(1), with unit cell dimensions a = b = 45.07, c = 45.49A. The refinement converged with a crystallographic residual R = 0.14 and the location of 81 solvent molecules. The octamer forms an A-DNA duplex with 6 Watson-Crick (G.C) base pairs and 2 inosine-thymine (I.T) pairs. Refinement of the structure shows it to be essentially isomorphous with that reported for d(GGGGCTCC) with the mispairs adopting a wobble conformation. Conformational parameters and base stacking interactions are compared to those for the native duplex d(GGGGCCCC) and other similar sequences. A rationale for the apparent increased crystal packing efficiency and lattice stability of the I.T octamer is given. Refined crystal structure of an octanucleotide duplex with I.T. mismatched base pairs.,Cruse WB, Aymani J, Kennard O, Brown T, Jack ...
BioXFEL - Resources: 2015 HWI Crystallization Workshop
Crystallization is the major bottleneck to 3D structure determination using X-ray crystallography. In this workshop we will discuss many tenets of successful crystallization for both conventional and serial crystallography. Many topics will be covered including fundamentals of crystal growth, strategies to sample crystallization space, identifying crystal hits, electron microscopy applications of crystal analysis, practical considerations for data analysis, difficult crystallization problems, virus crystallography, and an overview of serial crystallography.
Crystallization of Ranasmurfin, a blue coloured protein from Polypedates leucomystax
Ranasmurfin, a previously uncharacterized similar to 13 kDa blue protein found in the nests of the frog Polypedates leucomystax, has been purified and crystallized. The crystals are an intense blue colour and diffract to 1.51 angstrom with P2(1) symmetry and unit-cell parameters a = 40.9, b = 59.9, c = 45.0 angstrom, beta = 93.3 degrees. Self-rotation function analysis indicates the presence of a dimer in the asymmetric unit. Biochemical data suggest that the blue colour of the protein is related to dimer formation. Sequence data for the protein are incomplete, but thus far have identified no model for molecular replacement. A fluorescence scan shows a peak at 9.676 keV, indicating that the protein binds zinc and suggesting a route for structure solution ...
Structure of the C‐terminal domain of Tup1, a corepressor of transcription in yeast | The EMBO Journal
Tup1cΔ crystals were grown by hanging‐drop vapor diffusion by mixing an equal volume of protein and reservoir solution containing 50‐100 mM bis‐Tris propane pH 9, 0‐50 mM NaCl, 23‐26% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 6000 and 2 mM dithiothreitol or 1 mM BMS, and allowing the drop to equilibrate with the reservoir at 20°C. Crystals grew to an average size of 0.1 × 0.1 × 1 mm in ∼1 week. Native crystals were transferred to a drop containing well solution immediately prior to data collection. Heavy‐atom derivatives were prepared by soaking crystals in a solution containing 50 mM bis‐Tris propane pH 9 and 24% (w/v) PEG 6000 with the heavy‐atom reagent (0.5 mM EMTS for 12 h, 1 mM KAu(CN)2 for 22 h or 0.5 mM PIP for 12 h). Data were collected at room temperature on a RAXIS IIc detector equipped with a rotating‐anode Rigaku RU‐200 generator with CuKα radiation. Attempts to cryocool the crystals at −180°C were unsuccessful. All data were integrated and reduced using the ...
Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of N ...: Ingenta Connect
Mpr1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the N‐acetylation of the toxic l‐azetidine‐2‐carboxylic acid (AZC). Recently, Mpr1 has been shown to reduce levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) under oxidative stress. The natural substrate involved in the ROS elimination in vivo is still unknown. Mpr1 has been purified and crystallized in space groups P1 and P3112. X‐ray data were collected to 1.9 Å resolution from a trigonal crystal soaked with AZC ...
