Macromolecular structures without crystals.
E lectron microscopy has many attractive capabilities as a tool for experimentally visualizing the structures of biological cells and macromolecules. Particles can be imaged while freely suspended in biochemically ‘‘native’’ buffers, and electrons can be focused to resolutions exceeding anything that a biochemist’s heart might desire. To be sure, biological electron microscopy also is subject t...
متن کاملThe solvent component of macromolecular crystals
The mother liquor from which a biomolecular crystal is grown will contain water, buffer molecules, native ligands and cofactors, crystallization precipitants and additives, various metal ions, and often small-molecule ligands or inhibitors. On average, about half the volume of a biomolecular crystal consists of this mother liquor, whose components form the disordered bulk solvent. Its scatterin...
متن کاملMacromolecular complexes in crystals and solutions
This paper presents a discussion of existing methods for the analysis of macromolecular interactions and complexes in crystal packing. Typical situations and conditions where wrong answers may be obtained in the course of ordinary procedures are presented and discussed. The more general question of what the relationship is between natural (in-solvent) and crystallized assemblies is discussed an...
متن کاملCollision-free configuration-spaces in macromolecular crystals
Molecular replacement (MR) is a well-established computational method for phasing in macromolecular crystallography. In MR searches, spaces of motions are explored for determining the appropriate placement of rigid single-body (or articulated multi-rigid-body) models of macromolecules in crystallographic asymmetric units. This paper investigates which portion of the motion space is physically r...
متن کاملParameters affecting the X-ray dose absorbed by macromolecular crystals.
The lifetime of a macromolecular crystal in an X-ray beam is assumed to be limited by the absorbed dose. This dose, expressed in Gray (Gy = J kg(-1)), is a function of a number of parameters: the absorption coefficients of the constituent atoms of the crystal, the number of molecules per asymmetric unit, the beam energy, flux, size and profile, the crystal size, and the total irradiation time. ...
