Abstract

The crystal structure of sperm whale metmyoglobin has been determined at 80 K to a resolution of 2A. The overall structure at 80 K is similar to that at 300 K except that the volume is smaller. Refinement of the structure by the method of restrained least squares (current R = 0.175) permits the assignment of isotropic atomic mean-square displacements to all nonhydrogen atoms. Comparison with the values obtained earlier at 250-300 K indicates that the protein at 80 K is more rigid. The average experimentally determined Debye-Waller factor, B, for the protein is 14A2 at 300 K and 5A2 at 80 K. Plots of backbone mean-square displacement vs. temperature show a discontinuity of slope for at least one-third of all residues. This behavior is in good agreement with the temperature dependence of the mean-square displacement of the heme iron as measured by Mössbauer absorption. The magnitudes of the smallest mean-square displacements observed at 80 K indicate that intramolecular motions can be frozen out to a surprisingly large degree. Even at 80 K, however, some atoms in myoglobin still have mean-square displacements greater than 0.1A2, thus providing evidence for conformational substates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
