Therefore, typical scientific questions addressed are the determination of protonation states of amino acid side chains in proteins and the characterization of the hydrogen bonding networks between the protein active centre and an inhibitor or substrate. The neutron single crystal diffractometer BIODIFF will serve as an example of a neutron protein crystallography beam line. It is located at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum, MLZ, at the research reactor (FRM II) in Garching, Germany. BIODIFF is a joint project of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). BIODFF is equipped with a standard Oxford Cryosystem “Cryostream 700+” which allows measurements in the temperature range from 90 K up to 500 K. A new kappa goniometer head was added recently. This allows an automated tilting of the crystal in order to increase the completeness of the data set when recording another set of frames in the tilted geometry. Efforts to increase the flux at the sample position and to reduce the background at the detector have led to the ability to measure smaller and smaller protein crystals down to 0.1 mm3 in volume. One application example is the improvement of antibiotic drugs. Many bacteria secret a protein called -lactamase into their environment. This protein is able to hydrolyse the four membered carbon atom ring in -lactam antibiotics. These antibiotics are thereby destroyed and are not harmful to the bacteria any more. This mechanism causes great problems in hospitals. With neutron protein crystallography we were able to find a deuterium atom at the amino acid side chain glutamate 166 in the -lactamase protein carrying a transition state analogue. This transition state analogue stops the enzymatic reaction in its first acylation step. Thereby one could identify glutamate 166 as the important base taking over the hydrogen atom in the acylation step. Improved antibiotics should find ways to bind to this side chain in order to prevent its action as a base. Or, an additional drug has to be given to the patients which blocks the -lactamase protein efficiently such that the antibiotics can work effectively agian. The technique of neutron protein crystallography uses elastic neutron scattering and gives information on the structure of the protein. Inelastic neutron scattering reports on the equilibrium dynamics of proteins in solution. In a short excursion, neutron spin echo spectroscopy, an example of an inelastic, i. e. spectroscopic neutron scattering technique will be introduced which allows to monitor large scale protein motions on a nanosecond timescale. In case of the protein Phosphoglyceratkinase, it will be shown that those motions are necessary for the protein to fulfill its enzymatic function. 000873038 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$a6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623)$$cPOF3-623$$fPOF III$$x0 000873038 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$a6G15 - FRM II / MLZ (POF3-6G15)$$cPOF3-6G15$$fPOF III$$x1 000873038 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6215$$a6215 - Soft Matter, Health and Life Sciences (POF3-621)$$cPOF3-621$$fPOF III$$x2 000873038 65027 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)SciArea-160$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aBiology$$x0 000873038 65017 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)GC-130-2016$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aHealth and Life$$x0 000873038 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)BIODIFF-20140101$$1EXP:(DE-MLZ)FRMII-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)BIODIFF-20140101$$6EXP:(DE-MLZ)NL1-20140101$$aForschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz $$eBIODIFF: Diffractometer for large unit cells$$fNL1$$x0 000873038 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)J-NSE-20140101$$1EXP:(DE-MLZ)FRMII-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)J-NSE-20140101$$6EXP:(DE-MLZ)NL2ao-20140101$$aForschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz $$eJ-NSE: Neutron spin-echo spectrometer$$fNL2ao$$x1 000873038 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/873038/files/FEBSschoolNeutronProteinCrystallographyLecture_cut.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000873038 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/873038/files/FEBSschoolNeutronProteinCrystallographyLecture_cut.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000873038 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:873038$$pVDB:MLZ$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000873038 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)138266$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000873038 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-623$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vFacility topic: Neutrons for Research on Condensed Matter$$x0 000873038 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G0$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lGroßgeräte: Materie$$vFRM II / MLZ$$x1 000873038 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-621$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6215$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vIn-house research on the structure, dynamics and function of matter$$x2 000873038 9141_ $$y2019 000873038 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000873038 920__ $$lyes 000873038 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218$$kJCNS-FRM-II$$lJCNS-FRM-II$$x0 000873038 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106$$kJCNS-1$$lNeutronenstreuung$$x1 000873038 9201_ $$0I:(DE-588b)4597118-3$$kMLZ$$lHeinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum$$x2 000873038 980__ $$alecture 000873038 980__ $$aVDB 000873038 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000873038 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218 000873038 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106 000873038 980__ $$aI:(DE-588b)4597118-3 000873038 9801_ $$aFullTexts
