Crystals of the blue copper protein amicyanin suitable for neutron diffraction were grown by the sitting-drop method, followed by repeated macroseeding using solutions prepared with D(2)O. Although the crystal sizes were the same, crystals grown using solutions made up in H(2)O in the initial stages of macroseeding and solutions with D(2)O in later stages did not diffract neutrons well. However, when the protein was initially exchanged with buffered D(2)O and then crystallized and also macroseeded using solutions made up in D(2)O throughout, the crystals diffracted neutrons to high resolution. One of those crystals was used to collect a data set to a resolution of 1.9 A.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008667 Metalloproteins Proteins that have one or more tightly bound metal ions forming part of their structure. (Dorland, 28th ed) Metalloprotein
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010231 Paracoccus denitrificans A species of bacteria isolated from soil. Micrococcus denitrificans
D003461 Crystallography The branch of science that deals with the geometric description of crystals and their internal arrangement. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Crystallographies
D006859 Hydrogen The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. Protium,Hydrogen-1
D017666 Deuterium Oxide The isotopic compound of hydrogen of mass 2 (deuterium) with oxygen. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) It is used to study mechanisms and rates of chemical or nuclear reactions, as well as biological processes. Heavy Water,Oxide, Deuterium,Water, Heavy
D033363 Neutron Diffraction The scattering of NEUTRONS by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. It is useful in CRYSTALLOGRAPHY and POWDER DIFFRACTION. Diffraction, Neutron,Diffractions, Neutron,Neutron Diffractions
