Background:

Time-resolved x-ray crystallography (TR-X) enables atomic-resolution observation of molecular dynamics.
Analyzing TR-X data is challenging due to difficulties in extracting subtle, time-dependent signals.
Variational inference (VI) has shown promise in merging redundant observations to overcome these analytical bottlenecks.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a successful application of variational inference (VI) for analyzing time-resolved x-ray diffraction data.
To demonstrate a strategy for extracting high signal-to-noise electron density changes from enzyme dynamics.
To provide a practical case study for researchers using VI in time-resolved crystallography.

Main Methods:

Application of variational inference (VI) to time-resolved x-ray crystallography data.
Analysis of enzyme DJ-1 dynamics upon reaction with methylglyoxal.
An ablation study to assess the impact of hyperparameter choices on VI model performance.

Main Results:

Successful extraction of time-dependent changes in electron density for the enzyme DJ-1.
Demonstration of a robust strategy for enhancing signal-to-noise ratio in TR-X data.
Quantification of the influence of individual hyperparameters on the VI model's effectiveness.

Conclusions:

Variational inference provides an effective statistical approach for analyzing challenging time-resolved x-ray crystallography data.
The presented strategy facilitates the extraction of high-quality dynamic information from molecular reactions.
This case study serves as a guide for implementing VI in structural dynamics research.
