Publication Abstract from PubMed 44 samples of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) were obtained as a series of polycrystalline precipitates at 277 K and room temperature in the pH range between 6.56 and 3.33. The precipitates were investigated by the collection of high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction data at 295 K, which reveal the tetragonal or orthorhombic forms of lysozyme depending on the temperature and pH of crystallization. The use of a new robotic sample changer greatly facilitated these measurements. LeBail analyses of the powder patterns display a characteristic behaviour for the pH dependence of the tetragonal unit-cell parameters of HEWL crystallized at both temperatures. More detailed analysis shows that molecular replacement can give a suitable starting point for structural refinements, illustrating that powder data can be sufficient for this approach. Pawley or Rietveld refinements that fit a single model to four data sets simultaneously from four samples crystallized at pH values across the range studied benefit from improved powder data quality via the anisotropic changes in the unit cell. The Rietveld analysis gave an average structural model with excellent goodness of fit and stereochemistry.
