Single-wavelength anomalous dispersion of sulfur atoms (S-SAD) is an elegant phasing method to determine crystal structures that does not require heavy atom incorporation or selenomethionine derivatization. Nevertheless this technique has been limited by the paucity of the signal at usual X-ray wavelengths, requiring very accurate measurement of the anomalous differences. Here we report the data collection and structure solution of the N-terminal domain of the ectodomain of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) E1, from crystals that diffracted very weakly. By combining the data from 32 crystals it was possible to solve the sulfur substructure and calculate initial maps at 7Å resolution, and after density modification and phase extension, using a higher resolution native dataset, to 3.5Å resolution, model building was achievable. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of reveals a complex network of covalently linked intertwined homodimers that do not harbor the expected truncated class II fusion protein fold.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.
