Abstract:
Cytochrome c from Rhodothermus marinus has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method in 30 % (w/v) polyethylene glycol 8K, 0.2 M ammonium sulfate, 8 % hexanediol and 50 mM sodium citrate pH 2.2. The crystals belong to space group P2(1). X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.23 A resolution using synchrotron radiation and a wavelength of 0.93 A.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
