Mix-and-extrude: high-viscosity sample injection towards time-resolved protein crystallography
Time-resolved crystallography enabled the visualization of protein molecular motion during reaction. While light is commonly used to initiate reactions in time-resolved crystallography, only a small number of proteins can in fact be activated by light. However, many biological reactions can be triggered by the interaction of proteins with ligands. The sample delivery method presented here uses a mix-and-extrude approach based on 3D printed microchannels in conjunction with a micronozzle to study the dynamics of samples in viscous media that can be triggered by diffusive mixing. The device design allows for mixing of ligands and protein crystals in a time window of 2 to 20 seconds. The device characterization using a model system (fluorescence quenching of iq-mEmerald proteins by copper ions) demonstrated that ligand and protein crystals, each within the lipidic cubic phase, can be mixed efficiently. The potential use of this approach for time-resolved membrane protein crystallography to support in the development of new drugs is also discussed. Synopsis 3D printed mixing-HVE devices address time-resolved membrane protein crystallography challenges via compact dual-flow LCP injection.
期刊介绍:
Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
