The authors show that crystalline thermostable Bacillus DNA polymerase I is able to elongate a DNA template by up to six bases, generating the largest structural shift observed in a crystal so far.

A possible explanation for the difference is that the steady-state illumination during data collection in [11] effectively competed with the effects of X-ray-induced photo-electrons.

In contrast to [21], composite data sets were collected on a single crystal and microspectrophotometry was used on-line.

This might originate from the fact that the starting CO-bound structure is heavily strained and that photodissociation releases this strain. In this respect, the system is very original.

Using an appropriate temperature profile, they managed to visualize in detail the recombination steps of CO to Mb. The effect of cooling a protein from 300 K to 110 K is remarkably illustrated by drastic changes in the CO stretch bands from in crystallo FT-IR spectra, which correlate with subtle structural modifications seen in the X-ray data.

Density maps at 1.6 Å resolution revealed extended structural changes upon CO photolysis in an Mb mutant. These changes affect whole secondary structures (helix E, turn CD) and lag 100 ns behind local rearrangements around the heme, which occur promptly.
