STUDY ON RADIATION DAMAGE ON A CRYOCOOLED CRYSTAL. PART 4: STRUCTURE AFTER IRRADIATION WITH 27.2*10E15 PHOTONS
|
OverviewOverview
The high intensity of third-generation X-ray sources, along with the, development of cryo-cooling of protein crystals at temperatures around 100, K, have made it possible to extend the diffraction limit of crystals and, to reduce their size. However, even with cryo-cooled crystals, radiation, damage becomes a limiting factor. So far, the radiation damage has, manifested itself in the form of a loss of overall diffracted intensity, and an increase in the temperature factor. The structure of a protein, (myrosinase) after exposure to different doses of X-rays in the region of, 20 x 10(15) photons mm(-2) has been studied. The changes in the structure, owing to radiation damage were analysed using Fourier difference maps and, occupancy refinement for the first time. Damage was obvious in the ... [(full description)]
