Site-specific radiation damage on anomalously scattering sites can be used to generate additional phase information in standard single- or multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD or MAD) experiments. In this approach the data are kept unmerged, down to ...
Protein powder diffraction is shown to be suitable for obtaining de novo solutions to the phase problem at low resolution via phasing methods such as the isomorphous replacement method. Two heavy-atom derivatives (a gadolinium derivative and a holmium deri ...
The X-ray polarization anisotropy of anomalous scattering in crystals of brominated nucleic acids and selenated proteins is shown to have significant effects on the diffraction data collected at an absorption edge. For conventionally collected single- or mu ...
The preparation of single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis is frequently the most difficult step in structural studies of proteins.With the aid of two examples, it is shown that de novo solution of the crystallographic phase problem can be achieved at l ...
The experimental electron density obtained from a multipole refinement of the synchrotron X-ray data for the title complex, together with theoretical ab initio calculations of the electron density at the molecular geometry obtained from neutron diffraction ...
In this paper the anisotropy of anomalous scattering at the Br K-absorption edge in brominated nucleotides is investigated, and it is shown that this effect can give rise to a marked directional dependence of the anomalous signal strength in X-ray diffract ...
A technique has been developed that allows determination of the concentration profiles of colloidal solutions or any kind of fluid under confinement. Currently, submicrometre-wide channels are sampled with a resolution in the 10 nm range. The method compri ...
X-ray induced anisotropic variations of cell parameters in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) were used in a multi-Pawley refinement in order to improve the deconvolution of overlapping peaks occurring in the high-angle region of the powder pattern. The ben ...
Here, the crystallization and initial phasing of the C-terminal domain of human KIN17, a 45 kDa protein mainly expressed in response to ionizing radiation and overexpressed in certain tumour cell lines, are reported. Crystals diffracting to 1.4 Å resolutio ...
