[HTML][HTML] A beginner's guide to radiation damage

JM Holton - Journal of synchrotron radiation, 2009 - scripts.iucr.org
Many advances in the understanding of radiation damage to protein crystals, particularly at
cryogenic temperatures, have been made in recent years, but with this comes an expanding …

Femtosecond X-ray protein nanocrystallography

…, M Bott, KE Schmidt, X Wang, I Grotjohann, JM Holton… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
X-ray crystallography provides the vast majority of macromolecular structures, but the success
of the method relies on growing crystals of sufficient size. In conventional measurements, …

Large language models generate functional protein sequences across diverse families

…, S Subramanian, BP Mohr, JM Holton… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Deep-learning language models have shown promise in various biotechnological applications,
including protein design and engineering. Here we describe ProGen, a language model …

Structures of the bacterial ribosome at 3.5 A resolution

…, CW Hau, W Zhang, A Vila-Sanjurjo, JM Holton… - Science, 2005 - science.org
We describe two structures of the intact bacterial ribosome from Escherichia coli determined
to a resolution of 3.5 angstroms by x-ray crystallography. These structures provide a …

Accessing protein conformational ensembles using room-temperature X-ray crystallography

…, AJ Samelson, PT Lang, JM Holton… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Modern protein crystal structures are based nearly exclusively on X-ray data collected at
cryogenic temperatures (generally 100 K). The cooling process is thought to introduce little bias …

An assessment of the resolution limitation due to radiation-damage in x-ray diffraction microscopy

…, T Beetz, HN Chapman, C Cui, JM Holton… - Journal of electron …, 2009 - Elsevier
X-ray diffraction microscopy (XDM) is a new form of X-ray imaging that is being practiced at
several third-generation synchrotron-radiation X-ray facilities. Nine years have elapsed since …

Structures of the intermediates of Kok's photosynthetic water oxidation clock

…, S Carbajo, S Boutet, NW Moriarty, JM Holton… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Inspired by the period-four oscillation in flash-induced oxygen evolution of photosystem II
discovered by Joliot in 1969, Kok performed additional experiments and proposed a five-state …

Structural basis for aminoglycoside inhibition of bacterial ribosome recycling

…, RD Pai, W Zhang, BS Schuwirth, JM Holton… - Nature structural & …, 2007 - nature.com
Aminoglycosides are widely used antibiotics that cause messenger RNA decoding errors,
block mRNA and transfer RNA translocation, and inhibit ribosome recycling. Ribosome …

[PDF][PDF] The structure of the APPBP1-UBA3-NEDD8-ATP complex reveals the basis for selective ubiquitin-like protein activation by an E1

…, DW Miller, RJ Howard, DL Minor, JM Holton… - Molecular cell, 2003 - cell.com
E1 enzymes initiate ubiquitin-like protein (ubl) transfer cascades by catalyzing adenylation
of the ubl's C terminus. An E1's selectivity for its cognate ubl is essential because the E1 …

Time-resolved protein nanocrystallography using an X-ray free-electron laser

…, G Hauser, H Hirsemann, P Holl, JM Holton… - Optics express, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate the use of an X-ray free electron laser synchronized with an optical pump
laser to obtain X-ray diffraction snapshots from the photoactivated states of large membrane …
