ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Protein dynamics are integral to biological function, yet few techniques are
sensitive to collective atomic motions. A long-standing goal of X-ray
crystallography has been to combine structural information from Bragg
diffraction with dynamic information contained in the diffuse scattering
background. However, the origin of macromolecular diffuse scattering has been
poorly understood, limiting its applicability. We present a finely sampled
diffuse scattering map from triclinic lysozyme with unprecedented accuracy and
detail, clearly resolving both the inter- and intramolecular correlations. These
correlations are studied theoretically using both all-atom molecular dynamics
and simple vibrational models. Although lattice dynamics reproduce most of the
diffuse pattern, protein internal dynamics, which include hinge-bending motions,
are needed to explain the short-ranged correlations revealed by Patterson
analysis. These insights lay the groundwork for animating crystal structures
with biochemically relevant motions.
