Imaging RNA and dynamic protein segments with low-resolution virus crystallography: experimental design, data processing and implications of electron density maps 1 1Edited by D. Rees

Single crystal diffraction data were collected from virus crystals in the resolution range of 270 to 14 Å using a synchrotron X-ray source and a small-angle scattering instrument adapted for single crystal measurements. Reflections were measured from single crystals of the capsid of the double-stranded DNA bacteriophage HK97 and synthetic Flock House virus-like particles (sFHV). The quality of the low-resolution measurements was confirmed by...
