Fixed target matrix for femtosecond time-resolved andﾠin situﾠserial micro-crystallography

We present a crystallography chip enablingﾠin situﾠroom temperature crystallography at microfocus synchrotron beamlines andﾠX-rayﾠfree-electron laser (X-FEL) sources. Compared to otherﾠin situapproaches, we observe extremely low background and highﾠdiffractionﾠdata quality. The chip design is robust and allows fast and efficient loading of thousands of small crystals. The ability to load a large number ofﾠproteinﾠcrystals, at room temperature and with high efficiency, into prescribed positions enables high throughput automated serial crystallography with microfocus synchrotron beamlines. In addition, we demonstrate the application of this chip for femtosecond time-resolved serial crystallography at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS, Menlo Park, California, USA). The chip concept enables multiple images to be acquired from each crystal, allowing differential detection of changes inﾠdiffractionﾠintensities in order to obtain high signal-to-noise and fully exploit the time resolution capabilities of XFELs

Influence of Distal Residue B10 on CO Dynamics in Myoglobin and Neuroglobin

For many years, myoglobin has served as a paradigm for structure–function studies in proteins. Ligand binding and migration within myoglobin has been studied in great detail by crystallography and spectroscopy, showing that gaseous ligands such as O2, CO, and NO not only bind to the heme iron but may also reside transiently in three internal ligand docking sites, the primary docking site B and secondary sites C and D. These sites affect ligand association and dissociation in specific ways. Neuroglobin is another vertebrate heme protein that also binds small ligands. Ligand migration pathways in neuroglobin have not yet been elucidated. Here, we have used Fourier transform infrared temperature derivative spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures to compare the influence of the side chain volume of amino acid residue B10 on ligand migration to and rebinding from docking sites in myoglobin and neuroglobin
