abstract = {The large majority of three-dimensional structures of
biological macromolecules have been determined by X-ray
diffraction of crystalline samples. High-resolution
structure determination crucially depends on the homogeneity
of the protein crystal. Overall 'rocking' motion of
molecules in the crystal is expected to influence
diffraction quality, and such motion may therefore affect
the process of solving crystal structures. Yet, so far
overall molecular motion has not directly been observed in
protein crystals, and the timescale of such dynamics remains
unclear. Here we use solid-state NMR, X-ray diffraction
methods and μs-long molecular dynamics simulations to
directly characterize the rigid-body motion of a protein in
different crystal forms. For ubiquitin crystals investigated
in this study we determine the range of possible correlation
times of rocking motion, 0.1-100 μs. The amplitude of
rocking varies from one crystal form to another and is
correlated with the resolution obtainable in X-ray
diffraction experiments.},
