Journal ArticleDOI

Linking crystallographic model and data quality.

TL;DR: Here, it is shown that despite their widespread use, Rmerge values are poorly suited for determining the high-resolution limit and that current standard protocols discard much useful data, and a statistic is introduced that estimates the correlation of an observed data set with the underlying (not measurable) true signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved R-factors for diffraction data analysis in macromolecular crystallography

TL;DR: It is proved that Rsym is seriously flawed, because it has an implicit dependence on the redundancy of the data, and a corrected R-factor, Rmeas, is introduced as the equivalent robust indicator of data consistency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Siderophore-mediated iron transport: crystal structure of FhuA with bound lipopolysaccharide.

TL;DR: Sequence homologies and mutagenesis data are used to propose a structural mechanism for TonB-dependent siderophore-mediated transport across the outer membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser

Yanyong Kang, +71 more

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a constitutively active form of human rhodopsin bound to a pre-activated form of the mouse visual arrestin is determined by serial femtosecond X-ray laser crystallography and provides a basis for understanding GPCR-mediated arrestin-biased signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural asymmetry of AcrB trimer suggests a peristaltic pump mechanism.

TL;DR: A crystallographic structure of trimeric AcrB determined at 2.9 and 3.0 angstrom resolution in space groups reveals three different monomer conformations representing consecutive states in a transport cycle, implying an alternating access mechanism and a novel peristaltic mode of drug transport by this type of transporter.
