Collect small slices of data (instead of a complete data set) on several crystals then merge the data together to get a full data set. The slices of must be small enough so that the damage to the S-NO group is still very limited on each slice. You may have to play with beam attenuation a bit, depending on how fast the degradation occurs.
Good luck Thierry From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Uma Ratu Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 5:38 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] S-nitrosylation protein Dear All: I plan to use X-ray crystallography method to study the S-nitrosylated protein structure. The native protein crystals diffracted to 2A with synchrontron. I now have the crystals of S-ntrosylated protein. Since S-NO moiety appears to be unstable to synchrotron radiation, could you advice / comments on the stratage on the data collection of S-nitrosylated protein crystals? The protein crystals did not diffract well with in house X-ray. Thank you for your comments. Uma Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
