Neutron diffraction data to 1.1 Å was collected on a crystal of the small protein crambin at the Protein Crystallography Station (PCS) at Los Alamos, the highest resolution neutron structure of a protein to date, and a technical benchmark for the instrument. 95 % of the hydrogen atoms in the protein structure were resolved. The data allowed for the refinement of anisotropic temperature factors for selected deuterium atoms within the protein. Hydrogen bonding networks ambiguous in room temperature, ultra-high resolution (0.84 Å) electron density maps are clarified in the nuclear density maps. The ultra-high resolution data also reveals unusual H/D exchange patterns and novel chemistry in the side chains and protein backbone. Complementary X-ray diffraction data was collected at 19-ID at the Advanced Photon Source, with extensive re-configuration of the beamline to allow for operation at higher energy settings.

AbstractHydrothermal synthesis produced the new compound SrCo2(AsO4)(AsO3OH)(OH)(H2O). The compound belongs to the tsumcorite group (natural and synthetic compounds with the general formula M(1)M(2)2(XO4)2(H2O,OH)2; M(1)1+,2+,3+ = Na, K, Rb, Ag, NH4, Ca, Pb, Bi, Tl; M(2)2+,3+ = Al, Mn3+, Fe3+, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; and X5+,6+ = P, As, V, S, Se, Mo). It represents (1) the first Sr member, (2) the until now unknown [7]-coordination for the M(1) position, (3) the first proof of (partially) protonated arsenate groups in this group of compounds, and (4) a new structure variant.The crystal structure of the title compound was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound is monoclinic, space group P21/a, with a = 9.139(2), b = 12.829(3), c = 7.522(2) Å, β = 114.33(3)°, V = 803.6(3) Å3, Z = 4 [wR2 = 0.065 for 3530 unique reflections]. The hydrogen atoms were located experimentally.

Abstract Protoplanetary disks are dust- and gas-rich structures surrounding protostars. Depending on the distance from the protostar, this dust is thermally processed to different degrees and accreted to form bodies of varying chemical compositions. The primordial accretion processes occurring in the early protoplanetary disk such as chondrule formation and metal segregation are not well understood. One way to constrain them is to study the morphology and composition of forsteritic grains from the matrix of carbonaceous chondrites. Here, we present high-resolution ptychographic X-ray nanotomography and multimodal chemical microtomography (X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence) to reveal the early history of forsteritic grains extracted from the matrix of the Murchison CM2.5 chondrite. The 3D electron density maps revealed, at unprecedented resolution (64 nm), spherical inclusions containing Fe–Ni, very little silica-rich glass and void caps (i.e., volumes where the electron density is consistent with conditions close to vacuum) trapped in forsterite. The presence of the voids along with the overall composition, petrological textures, and shrinkage calculations is consistent with the grains experiencing one or more heating events with peak temperatures close to the melting point of forsterite (∼2100 K), and subsequently cooled and contracted, in agreement with chondrule-forming conditions.

(NH4)2TeBr6 and Cs2TeBr6 crystals have the cubic K2PtCl6 structure with space group: [Formula: see text] with a0 = 10.728 ± 0.003 Å and 10.918 ± 0.002 Å respectively. The positional coordinate of the bromine atom, and the anisotropic temperature factors of all atoms in the unit cell, have been refined for both crystals by a full matrix least-squares analysis of the three dimensional X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.08). The Te—Br distance, corrected for probable thermal motions of atoms forming the bond, is 2.70 ± 0.01 Å in both crystals.

Polysaccharide Monooxygenase

Bacteria and fungi express lytic polysaccharide monooxgyenase (LPMO) enzymes that act in conjunction with canonical hydrolytic sugar-processing enzymes to rapidly convert polysaccharides such as chitin, cellulose and starch to single monosaccharide products. In order to gain a better understanding of the structure and oxidative mechanism of these enzymes, large crystals (1–3 mm3) of a chitin-processing LPMO from the Gram-positive soil bacteriumJonesia denitrificanswere grown and screened for their ability to diffract neutrons. In addition to the collection of neutron diffraction data, which were processed to 2.1 Å resolution, a high-resolution room-temperature X-ray diffraction data set was collected and processed to 1.1 Å resolution in space groupP212121. To our knowledge, this work marks the first successful neutron crystallographic experiment on an LPMO. Joint X-ray/neutron refinement of the resulting data will reveal new details of the structure and mechanism of this recently discovered class of enzymes.

A complex consisting of one molecule of 5-bromouridine ( BUR ) and one molecule of di­methylsulphoxide ( DMSO ) has been prepared in the form of monoclinic crystals. The unit cell parameters are as follows, a = 13⋅65 ± 0⋅01, b = 4.820 ± 0⋅005, c = 12⋅09 ± 0⋅01 Å, β = 91⋅8 ± 0.1°, space group P 2 1 . X-ray diffraction data ( ⋋ = 1⋅5418 Å) for 1389 independent reflexions were collected and the structure was determined from Patterson syntheses which gave the coordinates of the bromine and sulphur atoms. Fourier syntheses followed by least-squares refinement (including anisotropic temperature parameters) reduced the agreement index R to 0⋅067. The bond lengths and angles for each molecule are given, and it is shown that hydrogen bonds are formed between the oxygen atom of the DMSO molecule and the 03' and 05' of the BUR molecules. A comparison is made between the conformation of the BUR molecule in this complex and that of the same molecule in two other structures.

AbstractHigh resolution (sinθ/λ < 1.34 Å−1), low temperature (85 K) X-ray diffraction data has been used to map the deformation density and the derived electrostatic potential for three dinitramide salts. The traditional presentation of contour maps has been replaced with 3D views of the molecule. A comparison of the dinitramide ions from each salt is presented.
