  1. “New” methods By Paul Ellis

  2. Derivatizing with quick soaks • Quick soaks can be much less time consuming than traditional long soaks or cocrystallizing • High concentrations can be destructive of crystal order • Ions used include: • Br-, I- • Cs+, Rb+ • Gd3+, Ho3+, Sm3+, Eu3+

  3. PPLO • Pichia pastoris lysyl oxidase – an analog for mammalian lysyl oxidase: • 70 kDa glycoprotein • 1 intrinsic Cu • 4 molecules in the asymmetric unit • Tried long soaks and cocrystallizing with: • Hg(II), Yb(III), Sm(III), PIP, EMTS, WO42-, IrCl42-, Os(III), Kr… • Poor resolution • No peaks in anomalous Patterson • Tried short soaks in KBr • ≥ 1.0 M, ≥ 120 s destroyed crystal • Good resolution • Good peaks in anomalous Patterson with 90 s, 0.75 M

  4. Bromide site

  5. Phased anomalous map

  6. Krypton & Xenon • Underutilized • More isomorphous than traditional derivatives • Must be stable in cryoprotectant • Good chance of useful derivative • Quillin: large-to-small mutations

  7. Kr K edge

  8. SP18 by Kr MAD RAW AFTER wARP

  9. SAD v. MAD • SAD will be the method of choice for high throughput • Programs designed for SAD data are becoming available • Robots will give experimenters more freedom to try SAD

  10. HIBADH – a SAD example • 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase • a ubiquitous enzyme involved in valine catabolism • 1 Crystal • P43212, 103 × 103 × 108 Å • 2 × 295 residues in asu ≈ 70 kDa • Grown in 5 mM Pb2+ • Data collection • Δφ = 94° • dmin = 2.2 Å • R = 9.7% • Multiplicity = 7.6 • <I/σ(I)> = 15 • λ = 0.79 Å (Pb f " ≈ 10e-)

  11. Anomalous Patterson

  12. Structure solution SHARP DM wARP <ΔF±>/<F> ≈ 2.5%

  13. X-ray absorption edges

  14. Accessible energies

  15. Missing edges

  16. Missing elements Incorrect Correct

  17. Sulfur anomalous

  18. Xenon anomalous

  19. Uranium anomalous
