X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

24.0K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
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 Samples01:10

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

3.9K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
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...

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting01:13

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

1.3K
A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

613
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Area of Science:

  • Crystallography
  • Structural Biology
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate substructure determination is crucial for solving crystal structures.
  • Current methods for estimating substructure-factor amplitudes from single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) data, such as using Bijvoet differences, have limitations.
  • Improving these estimations can enhance the success of direct-methods substructure detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more accurate method for estimating substructure-factor amplitudes (|Fa|) from SAD data.
  • To implement this new method in a computational program.
  • To evaluate the performance of the new method compared to existing approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of an equation based on multivariate statistics to estimate |Fa|.
  • The equation accounts for correlations between positive (F+) and negative (F-) Friedel pairs and Fa, including measurement errors.
  • Implementation of the multivariate estimation in a new program named Afro.

Main Results:

  • The new multivariate estimation method was tested on over 180 cases.
  • Afro demonstrated a higher correlation with final substructure-factor amplitudes compared to Bijvoet differences.
  • The use of Afro improved the robustness of substructure detection using direct methods.

Conclusions:

  • The multivariate estimation of |Fa| provides a more accurate and robust approach for SAD data analysis.
  • The Afro program effectively implements this method, offering advantages over traditional Bijvoet difference estimations.
  • This advancement is expected to improve the efficiency and success rate of crystal structure determination using SAD data.
