Hydroxyethyl cellulose matrix applied to serial crystallography

Abstract: Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) allows structures of proteins to be determined at room temperature with minimal radiation damage. A highly viscous matrix acts as a crystal carrier for serial sample loading at a low flow rate that enables the determination of the structure, while requiring consumption of less than 1 mg of the sample. However, a reliable and versatile carrier matrix for a wide variety of protein samples is still elusive. Here we introduce a hydroxyethyl cellulose-matrix carrier, to dete… Show more

“…Based on their physical and chemical properties, sample delivery media can be categorized as either lipidic cubic phase (LCP), 15 oil-based, 1618 or hydrogel-based. 1721 Among them, LCP and grease, which have hydrophobic characteristics, provide the most stable injection streams and are the most widely used delivery media in SX experiments.…”

“…1721 Among them, LCP and grease, which have hydrophobic characteristics, provide the most stable injection streams and are the most widely used delivery media in SX experiments. 1518 LCP, which is usually used with monoolein, is widely applied in the process of membrane protein crystallization, and its crystallized membrane protein embedded in LCP can be used as a sample delivery medium. 15,23 The LCP delivery medium enables the sample to be delivered very steadily, even at flow rates of 0.001–0.3 μl/min.…”

“…However, because of the strong adhesion of HA, the nozzle is easily clogged. In 2017, Sugahara used an HEC matrix as the crystal carrier to obtain structures of soluble proteins at a resolution beyond 1.8 Å at room temperature. The HEC carrier can produce a stable and small‐diameter sample flow, and it is helpful to reduce sample consumption and background scatter.…”
