Shedding UV light on the phase problem
Abstract
In this issue of Structure, Nanao and Ravelli (2006) describe the use of UV-induced radiation damage (UV-RIP) to solve the phase problem for proteins, employing single-wavelength X-ray radiation, without the need for derivatization. This should also permit data collection for many proteins on home sources, without travel to a synchrotron.
