Abstract

The crotoxin complex, a neurotoxin from the venom of the Brazilian rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus terrificus, forms thin crystals suitable for high resolution electron crystallography. These crystals grow to variable completions of the unit cell, making it difficult to merge the intensity data from different crystals. This difficulty is overcome by collecting as many electron diffraction patterns (EDP) as possible from a single crystal tilted from +60° to -60°. Several series of approximately twenty EDP's were collected using a Philips 400 equipped with a cold stage at MRC, Cambridge in Dr. R. Henderson's laboratory. We report here our progress in synthesizing a 3-D intensity data set from these series.
