Abstract:
This data article describes the anisotropy of diffraction observed for the centered monoclinic crystals of OmpF reported in "Two different centered monoclinic crystals of the E. coli outer-membrane protein OmpF originate from the same building block (Chaptal et al., 2016 [1])". The datasets intensity falloff as a function of resolution are provided along with reflections along the (h,l) and (k,l) planes. A comparison with the crystal packing in the real cell is also provided, with the correspondence to the reciprocal vectors. These data can be retrieved from the Protein Data Bank under accession codes PDB: 4jfb and PDB: 4d5u.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

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...
