Following the seminal work of Von Dreele, high quality powder X-ray diffraction studies on proteins are being established as a valuable complementary technique to single-crystal measurements. Several studies using a variety of experiments approaches have been reported in the literature, including high-resolution studies employing parallel beam geome-try and high intensity measurements using position sensitive detectors. The choice of the optimum instrumental configuration depends on a number of competing factors such as the amount of sample available, its radiation sensitivity, and the quality of the data required for data analysis, e.g. angular resolution, the extent of the data in d-spacing, or the number of patterns required to explore the protein’s behaviour at different temperatures, or under differ-ent crystallisation conditions, etc. Here we discuss several advantages and disadvantages of different data collection methods followed for selected examples of small proteins.","PeriodicalId":23897,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79868253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Determining the occupancies of each individual element requires more information than even a joint X-ray/neutron refinement can provide. For this material additional datasets were taken to exploit changes in elemental contrast that can be induced using resonant diffraction. Together with the actual ratios of Mn:Ni:Co determined using wavelength dispersive XRF, constraints were constructed to allow the transition metals to float across the different cation sites whilst the lithium content could be freely refined. The added complications of a C2/m monoclinic structure and anisotropic broadening made for a very complex refinement. The least squares matrices were examined in order to maintain reasonable ESDs for the variables of interest.","PeriodicalId":23897,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie","volume":"345 1","pages":"483-488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79639153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit-cell parameter increased with tin doping level up to 7.8 at% Sn and decreased at higher levels.

The SLEC calcu lations have been performed on a set of 800 structures differing in the distribution of Al/Si and O/N within the 2 × 2 × 2 supercell containing 36 formula units of BaYb[Si4–xAlxOxN7–x]. The SLEC were based on a transferable set of empirical interatomic potentials developed within the present study. The static lattice energies of these structures have been expanded in the basis set of pair-wise ordering energies and on-site chemical potentials. The ordering energies and the chemical potentials have been used to calculate the configuration energies of the oxonitridoaluminosilicates (so-called sialons) using a Monte Carlo algorithm. The simulations suggest that Al and O are distributed unevenly over two non-equivalent T(Si/Al) and three L(N/O) sites, respectively, and the distribution shows strong dependence both on the temperature and the composition. Both simulated samples exhibit order/disorder transitions in the temperature range 500–1000 K to phases with partial long-range order below these temperatures. Above the transition temperatures the Si/Al and N/O distributions are affected by short-range ordering.
