Periplasmic nitrate reductase from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 27774 contains two molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide cofactors and one [4Fe–4S] cluster as prosthetic groups and catalyzes the conversion of nitrate to nitrite. Crystals of the oxidized form of this enzyme were obtained using PEG as precipitant and belong to space group P3121 or P3221, with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 106.3, c = 135.1 Å. There is one monomer of 80 kDa in the asymmetric unit, which corresponds to a Matthews ratio of 2.75 Å3 Da−1. Using cryo-cooling procedures and X-rays from a rotating-anode generator, diffraction was observed to beyond 3.0 Å resolution.

HORF6 is a member of the novel antioxidant enzyme family found in humans. A recombinant form of hORF6 expressed and purified from E. coli has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method using various PEG's as precipitating agents. HORF6 crystallizes in two different monoclinic space groups, P21 and C2. The P21 crystals have unit-cell dimensions of a = 47.85, b = 75.17, c = 63.30 Å and β = 110.21° and contain two monomers per asymmetric unit, while the C2 crystals have unit-cell dimensions of a = 165.27, b = 95.44, c = 166.44 Å and β = 128.97° and contain more than six monomers per asymmetric unit. The P21 crystals with the smaller unit cell diffract X-rays better and behave well for the X-ray analysis. A native data set from a single crystal of the P21 space group gas been collected to 2.0 Å resolution.

Rotation Function

Crystals of Trypanosoma cruzi dUTPase have been grown. Two different morphologies are observed, depending on the molecular weight of the PEG used as precipitating agent in the mother liquor, both having a hexagonal unit cell with similar dimensions. Complete X-ray diffraction data have been collected to low resolution for one of the forms. The space group is P6322, with unit-cell dimensions a = 134.15, c = 147.05 Å. Peaks in the self-rotation function and the solvent content are consistent with two molecules of dUTPase per asymmetric unit.

Crystallographic Axes

Crystals of a human γGl immunoglobulin have the external morphology of diamond shaped prisms. X-ray studies have shown them to be monoclinic, space group C2, with 2 molecules per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions are a = 194.1, b = 91.7, c = 51.6Å, 8 = 102°. The relatively large molecular weight of 151,000 and these unit cell dimensions made this a promising crystal to study in the EM.Crystals similar to those used in the x-ray studies were fixed at 5°C for three weeks in a solution of mother liquor containing 5 x 10-5M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, and 0.03% glutaraldehyde. They were postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide for 15 min. and embedded in Maraglas the usual way. Sections were cut perpendicular to the three crystallographic axes. Such a section cut with its plane perpendicular to the z direction is shown in Fig. 1.This projection of the crystal in the z direction shows periodicities in at least four different directions but these are only seen clearly by sighting obliquely along the micrograph.

p-nitrophenol, C6H5NO3, and disophenol, C6H3I2NO3, have been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. The unit cell dimensions were determined from diffractometer methods, using monochromatic CuKα1 radiation, and evaluated by indexing programs. The monoclinic cell found for p-nitrophenol was a=6.159(2) Å, b=8.890(2) Å, c=11.770(2) Å, β=103.04(2)°, Z=4, space group P21 or P2l/m, Dx=1.469 Mg/m3. The monoclinic cell found for disophenol has the dimensions a=8.886(1) Å, b=14.088(2) Å, c=8.521(1) Å, β=91.11(1)°, Z=4, space group P2, P2, Pm or P2/m, Dx=2.438 Mg/m3.

Axes Of Symmetry

The etiologic agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been shown to secrete the enzyme glutamine synthetase (TB-GS) which is apparently essential for infection. Four crystal forms of a recombinant TB-GS were grown. The one chosen for synchrotron X-ray data collection belongs to space group P212121 with unit-cell dimensions 208 × 258 × 274 Å, yielding 2.4 Å resolution data. A Matthews number of 2.89 Å3 Da−1 is found, corresponding to 24 subunits of molecular mass 1300 kDa in the asymmetric unit. From earlier work, the structure of Salmonella typhimurium GS, which is 51% identical in sequence to TB-GS, is known to be dodecameric with 622 symmetry. Self-rotation calculations on the TB-GS X-ray data reveal only one set of sixfold and twofold axes of symmetry. A Patterson map calculated from the native X-ray data confirms that there are two dodecamers in the asymmetric unit, having both their sixfold and twofold axes parallel to one another.

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is an important tool to determine the phase composition of archaeological ceramics. In principle, a thin beam of X-rays incident to a lattice plane of crystalline matter is scattered in specific directions and angles depending on the distances of atoms. This allows determination of characteristic unit cell dimensions and serves to unambiguously identify crystalline phases in the ceramics. In this chapter, generation of X-rays and the theory of diffraction will be briefly discussed as well as equipment, focusing conditions, and sample preparation procedures of common XRPD methods. The X-ray pattern obtained will provide an analytical fingerprint that can be matched against the Powder Diffraction File of the International Centre for Diffraction Data. Examples will be given of application of this analytical technique to archaeological clays and ceramics.

Zircon Particles

A new compound having the same composition as zircon, ZrSiO4, but differing from it in its structure has been obtained by heating zircon particles to a temperature of 5000 to 10000°K. According to X-ray powder diffraction data the structure and within limits of error also the unit-cell dimensions are identical with that of monoclinic baddeleyite, ZrO2. This suggests that the baddeleyite lattice can not only accommodate 10 molecular % SiO2 as is already known for some time, but substantially more, unless it is assumed that some kind of submicroscopic exsolution of amorphous SiO2 has taken place.

Crystalline Forms

Detailed interpretations of the X -ray diffraction patterns of fibres and sheets of 66 and 6.10 polyamides (polyhexam ethylene adipamide and sebacamide respectively) are proposed. The crystal structures of the two substances are completely analogous. Fibres of these two polyam ides usually contain two different crystalline forms, α and β, which are different packings of geometrically similar molecules; most fibres consist chiefly of the α form. In the case of the 66 polymer, fibres have been obtained in which there is no detectable proportion of the β form. Unit cell dimensions and the indices of reflexions for the α form were determined by trial, using normal fibre photographs, and were checked by using doubly oriented sheets set at different angles to the X -ray beam. The unit cell of the a form is triclinic, with a — 4·9 A, b = 5·4 A, c (fibre axis) = 17·2A, α = 48 1/2º, β = 77º, γ = 63 1/2º for the 66 polymer; a = 4·95A, b = 5·4A, c (fibre axes) = 22·4A, α = 49º, β = 76 1/2º, γ = 63 1/2º for the 6.10 polymer. One chain molecule passes through the cell in both cases. Atomic coordinates in occrystals were determined by interpretation of the relative intensities of the reflexions. The chains are planar or very nearly so; the oxygen atoms appear to lie a little off the plane of the chain. The molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds between C = 0 and NH groups, to form sheets. A simple packing of these sheets of molecules gives the α arrangement.

1-Butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide {(bdmim)Br} (1) and iodide {(bdmim)I} (2) were prepared conveniently by the reaction of 1,2-dimethylimidazole and the corresponding 1-halobutane. The compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray single crystal crystallography. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n, with Z = 4, and unit cell dimensions a = 8.588(2), b = 11.789(1), c = 10.737(2) Å, β = 91.62(3)°. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with Z = 8, and unit cell dimensions a = 10.821(2), b = 14.221(3), c = 15.079(2) Å , β = 90.01(3)°. The lattices of the salts are built up of 1-butyl-2,3- dimethylimidazolium cations and halide anions. The cations of 1 form a double layer with the imidazolium rings stacked together due to π interactions. The Br− anions lie approximately in the plane of the imidazolium ring, and the closest interionic Br···H contacts span a range of 2.733(1) - 2.903(1) Å. Compound 2 shows no π stacking interactions. The closest interionic I···H contacts are 2.914(1) - 3.196(1) Å
