Abstract

Examples of phasing macromolecular crystal structures based on single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) have demonstrated that this approach may have general applications in structural biology. With better data-collection facilities and cryogenic techniques, combined with powerful data-processing, phasing and density-modification programs, the SAD approach may prove simpler than phasing from multi-wavelength (MAD) measurements. It can be performed at any wavelength where anomalous scattering can be observed, in many cases using laboratory X-ray sources. However, there is still a need for accurate data, successful phase improvement and a certain amount of luck. This paper extends the discussion of Jolly SAD in Dauter et al. [Dauter, Z., Dauter, M. & Dodson, E. (2002), Acta Cryst. D58, 494-506].

它是快乐的悲伤吗?

基于单波长异常色散(SAD)的相控大分子晶体结构的例子表明，这种方法可能在结构生物学中具有普遍的应用。有了更好的数据收集设施和低温技术，结合强大的数据处理、相位和密度修改程序，SAD方法可能比多波长(MAD)测量的相位更简单。它可以在任何波长进行，在许多情况下，使用实验室x射线源可以观察到异常散射。然而，仍然需要准确的数据，成功的阶段改进和一定程度的运气。本文扩展了Dauter等人对Jolly SAD的讨论[Dauter, Z.， Dauter, M. & Dodson, E. (2002)， Acta crystal]。D58, 494 - 506]。

期刊介绍： Acta Crystallographica Section D welcomes the submission of articles covering any aspect of structural biology, with a particular emphasis on the structures of biological macromolecules or the methods used to determine them. Reports on new structures of biological importance may address the smallest macromolecules to the largest complex molecular machines. These structures may have been determined using any structural biology technique including crystallography, NMR, cryoEM and/or other techniques. The key criterion is that such articles must present significant new insights into biological, chemical or medical sciences. The inclusion of complementary data that support the conclusions drawn from the structural studies (such as binding studies, mass spectrometry, enzyme assays, or analysis of mutants or other modified forms of biological macromolecule) is encouraged. Methods articles may include new approaches to any aspect of biological structure determination or structure analysis but will only be accepted where they focus on new methods that are demonstrated to be of general applicability and importance to structural biology. Articles describing particularly difficult problems in structural biology are also welcomed, if the analysis would provide useful insights to others facing similar problems.
