Variation of solvent density and low-resolution ab initio phasing
نویسنده
چکیده
The bulk solvent plays a key role in the direct phasing at low resolution. The connectivitybased phasing method has been tested for the crystal of the tRNA-aspartyl-tRNA synthetase complex. The neutron diffraction data have been measured for different solvent contrast masking different components of the crystal. The obtained low resolution images are perfectly correlated with the solvent level.

Progress in low-resolution ab initio phasing with CrowdPhase
Ab initio phasing by direct computational methods in low-resolution X-ray crystallography is a long-standing challenge. A common approach is to consider it as two subproblems: sampling of phase space and identification of the correct solution. While the former is amenable to a myriad of search algorithms, devising a reliable target function for the latter problem remains an open question. Here,...
متن کاملMap-likelihood phasing
The recently developed technique of maximum-likelihood density modification [Terwilliger (2000), Acta Cryst. D56, 965-972] allows a calculation of phase probabilities based on the likelihood of the electron-density map to be carried out separately from the calculation of any prior phase probabilities. Here, it is shown that phase-probability distributions calculated from the map-likelihood func...
متن کاملResolution Dependence of an Ab Initio Phasing Method in Protein X-ray Crystallography
For direct phasing of protein crystals, a method based on the hybrid-input-output (HIO) algorithm has been proposed and tested on a variety of structures. So far, however, the diffraction data have been limited to high-resolution ones, i.e., higher than 2 Å. In principle, the methodology can be applied to data of lower resolutions, which might be particularly useful for phasing membrane protein...
متن کاملMacromolecular ab initio phasing enforcing secondary and tertiary structure
Ab initio phasing of macromolecular structures, from the native intensities alone with no experimental phase information or previous particular structural knowledge, has been the object of a long quest, limited by two main barriers: structure size and resolution of the data. Current approaches to extend the scope of ab initio phasing include use of the Patterson function, density modification a...
متن کاملAb initio phasing by molecular averaging in real space with new criteria: application to structure determination of a betanodavirus
Molecular averaging, including noncrystallographic symmetry (NCS) averaging, is a powerful method for ab initio phase determination and phase improvement. Applications of the cross-crystal averaging (CCA) method have been shown to be effective for phase improvement after initial phasing by molecular replacement, isomorphous replacement, anomalous dispersion or combinations of these methods. Her...
