CROSS-LINKED CHICKEN LYSOZYME CRYSTAL IN NEAT ACETONITRILE, THEN BACK-SOAKED IN WATER
Overview
Tetragonal crystals of hen egg white lysozyme were cross-linked and, subjected to X-ray diffraction study in acetonitrile-water media with, different acetonitrile concentrations. Crystals in neat acetonitrile did, not scatter X-ray well. Structures of crystals in neat water, in 90% and, 95% acetonitrile, and crystal back-soaked from acetonitrile to water, were, determined to about 2 A resolution. For crystals in both 90% acetonitrile, and crystal back-soaked from acetonitrile to water, were determined to, about 2 A resolution. For crystals in both 90% and 95% acetonitrile, only, one protein-bond acetonitrile molecule is found in the active site cleft, and its location and binding-protein mode is similar to the C subunit of, polysaccharide. The alteration in conformation and hydrogen-bond pattern, involving water as solvent causes the reduction of the protein's, flexibility in organic media. The back-soaked crystal regained its, ordinary three-dimensional structure in water.
About this Structure
