9 Why is Three-Dimensional Structure Important? Picture is worth a thousand words
10 What Structure Can Tell You? Understand biological processes at the basic level Understand disease at an atomic level Help develop new drugs Engineer new and improved proteins for various applications Protein fold Infer sequence-structure relationships Enzyme mechanisms (to some extent) Protein-protein, -DNA, -RNA interfaces Ligand-binding sites Conformational changes Flexible regions
11 Looking at the Objects Around You Use your eyes/microscope/telescope! Solving a structure purely observationally Works for cells, tissues, galaxies etc. Look at the structure and describe or model what you see So why can t we just look at a protein with microscope?
12 Because Even a light microscope has its limits Diffraction limit Cannot image things that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light you are using Wavelength for visible light ( nm) but atoms are separated by distances of the order of 0.1 nm (1 Å)
13 Diffraction Limit Fundamental physical principle In order to see a detail (x) meters in extent, the illuminating radiation you use must have a wavelength at most double that size So protein molecules are invisible to visible light! Even a concentrated solution of protein is transparent Light passes without interacting, so no information on the protein is encoded in the emission
14 How about X-rays?
15 X-rays! Wavelength range from Å 10-8 cm = 1 Å
16 Picking your Ruler To measure something accurately, you need the appropriate ruler Distance between cities, use kilometres Length of your hand, use centimetres Crystallographers measure distances between atoms in Å Perfect "rulers" to measure Å distances are X-rays X-rays used by crystallographers are ~ 0.5 to 1.5 Å Just the right size to measure the distance between atoms in a molecule
17 X-rays! They are close to inter-atomic distance! To measure atomic distances through interference and to determine the structure of molecules, our ruler must have atomic dimensions This is why X-rays are required for crystallographic structure determinations
18 How Does a Microscope Work? Light strikes the object and is diffracted in various directions The lens collects the diffracted rays and reassembles them to form an image Lens focuses visible light
19 An X-ray Microscope? Can't build an X-ray microscope No X-ray lens With X-rays, we can detect diffraction from molecules, but we need a different approach to reassemble the image Lens focuses visible light, but the refractive index for very short wavelengths is ~ 1, so far no material can be used to focus X-rays
20 Let s Begin our Journey X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
21 Microscope vs. X-ray Crystallography Optical microscope "Impossible" X-ray microscope
22 X-ray Crystallography High-powered X-rays are aimed at a tiny crystal containing trillions of identical molecules Crystal scatters the X-rays onto an electronic detector Like a disco ball spraying light across a dance floor Electronic detector similar to those used to capture images in a digital camera
23 Steps in Solving an X-ray Structure
24 Know Your Protein Sequence, molecular weight Disulfides, glycoprotein?, phosphorylated? Maximum stability/activity, degradation? Cofactors Tags used in purification Secondary structure prediction Homologs with known structure
25 Pure A Good Protein Sample SDS-PAGE, Mono Q, IEF, mass spectroscopy Defined buffer Defined concentration No aggregation Dynamic light scattering, size exclusion To improve: salt, ph, temperature, detergent, batch, cofactors, binding partners, mutagenesis Need lots of protein too!
26 Steps in Solving an X-ray Structure
27 Why Crystals? X-ray scattering from a single molecule would be unimaginably weak and could never be detected above the noise level (scattering from air and water) A crystal arranges huge numbers of molecules in the same orientation, so that scattered waves can add up in phase and raise the signal to a measurable level A crystal acts as an amplifier!
28 What is a Crystal? Crystal acts as an X-ray diffraction amplifier
29 Packing of Molecule
30 Three-Dimensional Crystals Periodic array of atoms, molecules, viruses... Translational symmetry along three vectors a, b, c
31 Crystal Lattice Periodic arrangement in 3 dimensions A crystal unit cell is defined by its cell constants and is the building block for the whole crystal Edges: a, b, c Angles: α, β, γ
32 Building crystals Theory and Practice Next time
