Abstract：
:Triclinic crystals of hen egg-white lysozyme cross-linked with glutaraldehyde have been treated with various denaturants and found to be susceptible to x-ray structure analysis even after major conformational changes in the protein. Cross-linked crystals were isomorphous with the native form, and electron density difference maps indicated the locations of intermolecular corss-links, but showed no appreciable differences in the protein conformation. Soaking of the cross-linked crystals in danaturant solutions of increasing concentrations caused corresponding increases in crystal volume and decreases in minimum observable x-ray spacings. These changes proved partly reversible on diluting the solutions, and measurements of crystal volume and minimums x-ray spacing were used to follow denaturation and renaturation as a function of concentration for several denaturants. Some of these, including bromoethanol and sodium dodecyl sulfate, had little effect on the crystals below critical concentrations at which there was a sharp volume increase and loss of x-ray pattern, which could, however, be regenerated to about 3.2-A resolution. Others, including KCNS and urea, caused more gradual changes, but with a smaller degree of recovery. It is suggested that at least two different denaturation mechanisms are involved with detergent-like reagents disrupting the hydrophobic interactions joining the two wings of the lysozyme molecule and hydrophilic denaturants interacting primarily with polar groups on the molecular surface.
