硫酸還元菌(Desulfovibrio vulgaris)由来DsrDは立体構造中にDNA結合モチーフを持つことが判明している。本研究では、DNA認識における水素結合様式及び水和構造ネットワークの解明を目的として、中性子結晶構造解析を試みている。中性子回折実験に必要な大型結晶(1mm$$^{3}$$以上)を得るために、結晶析出相図とX線回折実験による結晶化情報の検討と、マクロシーディングを行い、1.7mm$$^{3}$$の単結晶を得ることに成功した。現在、結晶1軸方向での中性子回折実験データ収集が終わり、構造解析で水素水和構造の概要が見えたので報告する。

Issimilatory sulfite reductase D (DsrD) from $textit{Desulfovibrio vulgaris}$ has been crystallized for a neutron diffraction study. The initial crystals obtained were too small for the neutron experiment. In order to obtain a larger crystal (1 mm$$^{3}$$), a combination of two techniques was used to find the optimum crystallization conditions: a crystallization phase diagram, followed by crystal-quality assessment via X-ray diffraction. Using conditions determined in this manner, a large single crystal (1.7 mm$$^{3}$$) of the DsrD protein was subsequently grown in D$$_{2}$$O solution by the macro-seeding technique. The neutron diffraction experiment was carried out using the BIX-3 diffractometer at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), and the diffraction data up to 2.4 AA resolution could be collected from this crystal.
