Re: [ccp4bb] Studying hydrogen bonding network by neutron diffraction in sample with D2O

Dear Tim, and Arpita and Doeke, Basically structure is not affected (as evidenced by our Fisher and Helliwell database survey in Acta Cryst) but kinetics is affected ie everything is slower in D2O and can thereby be toxic. Greetings John Emeritus Professor John R Helliwell DSc > On 6 Sep 2024,

Hi Doeke, if I remember correctly, D2O is poisonous and bacteria grow with reduced growth rate. The effect of the greater mass may not be totally insignificant. Best, Tim Am 06.09.2024 15:25, schrieb Hekstra, Doeke Romke: Hi Arpita, H and D have the same number of electrons (1). The D nucleus

Dear all, We have a PDRA position at Diamond to work on developing new methods for time-resolved crystallography. You will work closely with a number of groups at Diamond and beyond to improve approaches for both SSX and SFX. For more info and details see https://vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy

Hi Arpita, H and D have the same number of electrons (1). The D nucleus has an extra neutron, changing its mass and therefore its vibrational energy levels. That can affect hydrogen bonding patterns, although I would expect the effect to be relatively minor (see e.g. Fisher and Helliwell, Acta
