9 X-ray crystallography Why X-rays? Right wavelength to resolve atoms Why crystal? Immobilize protein, enhance weak signal from scattering What is a protein crystal? Large solvent channels 20-80% solvent Same density as cytoplasm Are crystal structures valid compared with solution structures? Enzymes active in crystals Usually -- Compare NMR and x-ray structures Structures correlate with biological function Multiple crystal forms look same -- small effects of packing (flexible hinges can differ depending on packing)

10 Crystal lattices and symmetry y A crystal is a regular, 3-dimensional repeating array. The fundamental building block is the unit cell The crystal is built up by translations along x, y and z (which are not necessarily orthogonal) x z Note that x, y, z form a right-handed coordinate system

11 Unit cell Described by three vectors, a, b, and c, which are related by angles α, β and γ Lattice built up by translating the unit cell along each of the lattice vectors

12 Choice of unit cell Criteria for choosing a unit cell: There are many different cell choices for a lattice; I, II and III all constitute unit cells from which the entire lattice can be generated 1. Right-handed axis system 2. The basis vectors should coincide as much as possible with directions of highest symmetry 3. Cell should be smallest one that satisfies previous condition. This may mean the choice of a non-primitive unit cell. 4. a > b > c 5. Angles either all <90 or 90

13 Primitive and non-primitive unit cells Primitive cells have a single point in each unit cell (1/8 of each corner point) Non-primitive cells have more than one point in each unit cell

14 Contents of a unit cell A unit cell does not have to contain a full object but it must contain the sum of the repeating object The contents of a unit cell can have no intrinsic symmetry, or can contain objects related by symmetry operations.

15 Space filling repeats Forms closed lattice Can t fill 5-fold 2-fold 3-fold 7-fold 8-fold 4-fold 6-fold

16 Symmetry operations (2 1 )screw axis m n The symmetry operator m: rotate 360 o /m along an axis to unit cell plane The screw axis m n rotate 360 o /m along an axis to unit cell plane translate n/m along unit cell Crystallographic symmetry operations describe the symmetry of the unit cell as well as of the entire crystal. Symmetry of 5 or >6 cannot be used to build a 3-dimensional lattice therefore they do not exist except in local symmetry

17 Examples of screw axis Rotate 360/m = 120 Translate n/m n/m unit cells = 1/3 360/m = 120 n/m unit cells = 2/3 360/m = 60 n/m unit cells = 1/6

18 Biological systems are limited in symmetry Mirror Plane Biological systems are chiral and can t generate mirror planes or inversion centers. Inversion center

23 The asymmetric unit P2 a a.u. 2-fold axis b a.u. The asymmetric unit is the smallest fraction of the unit cell lacking internal symmetry The unit cell can be built up by applying symmetry operations to the asymmetric unit Unit cell

28 How can we describe the diffraction pattern of a protein in a crystal? Because there is no lens to refocus x-rays, we have to understand reciprocal space. Diffraction: Scattering followed by interference

29 Diffraction by a wave Diffraction: deviation of light from rectilinear propagation, is a characteristic of wave phenomena which occurs when a portion of a wave front is obstructed in some way. When various portions of a wave front propagate past some obstacle, and interfere at a later point past the obstacle, the pattern formed is called a diffraction pattern. Obstruction (slit) is smaller than the wavelength

30 Diffraction pattern With 2 slits you now get patterns of interference. -Constructive when peaks or troughs intersect -Destructructive when peaks and troughs intersect.

31 Convolution theorem The FT of the convolution of two functions is the product of their FTs The diffraction pattern of a lattice is a lattice The diffraction pattern of a molecular crystal product of the transform of the molecule (molecular transform) the diffraction pattern of a lattice (reciprocal lattice) Sampling of molecular transform at reciprocal lattice points

32 The convolution of two functions

33 Convolution theorem Diffraction pattern of a set of lines is a row of dots perpendicular to the lines The separation between the dots is proportional to the inverse of the separation between the lines Form lattice by multiplying the two functions The diffraction pattern of the lattice is a convolution of the diffraction patterns of the two sets of lines

34 All of the lens contributes to each point

40 Same molecular transform sampled by different lattices a) Molecular transform b) Lattice c) Convolution of lattice and transform d - f ) Same molecular transform sampled by different lattices Modified from Lipson & Taylor, 1964

41 Diffraction from an atom e - diffract X-rays Can be described by an approximation of the scattering by the electron shell An atom diffracts x- rays in all directions

42 When do we get a diffraction pattern? When we get constructive interference from two diffracted waves Bragg s Law nλ = 2d sinθ

43 Diffraction planes reflect X-rays λ d θ θ θ Bragg s Law nλ = 2dsinθ

44 λ Bragg s Law d θ θ λ θ d λ θ θ 2dsinθ The difference in travel is equal to a multiple of the wavelength. All of the atoms close to the Bragg plane contribute to the diffraction nλ = 2dsinθ

45 Lattice planes (2 1 0) plane (1 3 0) plane Plane defined by ( a h, b k, c l ) Can have negative integers

46 Getting to reciprocal space 1/d 1 1/d 2 θ 1 θ 2 d 1 d 2 The angle that satisfies Bragg s law is inversely proportional to the lattice spacing Reciprocal space can be defined by a vector normal to the real plane giving us the reciprocal lattice d = nλ 2sinθ
