On the Routine Use of Soft X-Rays in Macromolecular Crystallography, Part III- The Optimal Data Collection Wavelength

Overview

Complete and highly redundant data sets were collected at different, wavelengths between 0.80 and 2.65 A for a total of ten different protein, and DNA model systems. The magnitude of the anomalous signal-to-noise, ratio as assessed by the quotient R(anom)/R(r.i.m.) was found to be, influenced by the data-collection wavelength and the nature of the, anomalously scattering substructure. By utilizing simple empirical, correlations, for instance between the estimated deltaF/F and the expected, R(anom) or the data-collection wavelength and the expected R(r.i.m.), the, wavelength at which the highest anomalous signal-to-noise ratio can be, expected could be estimated even before the experiment. Almost independent, of the nature of the anomalously scattering substructure and provided that, no elemental X-ray absorption edge is nearby, this optimal wavelength is, 2.1 A.
