For proteins with a spectroscopic signature in the visible light spectrum, in crystallo UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy has regularly been used to estimate the dose scale of specific damage build-up and to develop diffraction data-collection strategies to mitigate its effects. Using a coupled spectroscopic and crystallographic approach, here we show that for two metal-containing proteins the structural response to X-ray-induced reduction of metals in their active site is markedly different at room temperature than at cryogenic temperature. This suggests that the use of controlled specific radiation damage to mimic and study a physiological redox transition in a metal-containing protein by X-ray crystallography should preferably be performed at room temperature rather than at cryogenic temperature.
