Doughnut-shaped structure of a bacterial muramidase revealed by X-ray crystallography

Albocycline: structure determination by x-ray crystallography.

The structure and absolute configuration of the macrolide antibiotic albocycline (1a) has been determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis on the derived p-bromobenzoate (1b). The absolute configuration of albocycline is 4R, 7S, 12S, 13R.

Structure of the Lassa virus nucleoprotein revealed by X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and electron microscopy.

The nucleoprotein (NP) of Lassa virus (LASV) strain AV was expressed in a recombinant baculovirus system. The crystal structure of full-length NP was solved at a resolution of 2.45 Å. The overall fold corresponds to that of NP of LASV strain Josiah (Qi, X., Lan, S., Wang, W., Schelde, L. M., Dong, H., Wallat, G. D., Ly, H., Liang, Y., and Dong, C. (2010) Nature 468, 779-783) with a root mean sq...

Structure of full-length class I chitinase from rice revealed by X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering.

The rice class I chitinase OsChia1b, also referred to as RCC2 or Cht-2, is composed of an N-terminal chitin-binding domain (ChBD) and a C-terminal catalytic domain (CatD), which are connected by a proline- and threonine-rich linker peptide. Because of the ability to inhibit fungal growth, the OsChia1b gene has been used to produce transgenic plants with enhanced disease resistance. As an initia...

Multiple challenges in protein structure determination by x-ray crystallography

The 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 ...
