If that’s not a good enough reason to work for and contribute to the Manhattan Project’s historic preservation, what would be? It’s certainly good enough for me.” ~Richard Rhodes, “Why We Should Preserve the Manhattan Project,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, May/June 2006 Photographs clockwise from top: J.

  • High-Pressure X-Ray Crystallography and Core Hydrophobicity of T4
    HIGH-PRESSURE X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AND CORE HYDROPHOBICITY OF T4 LYSOZYMES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcus David Collins January 2006 This document is in the public domain. HIGH-PRESSURE X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AND CORE HYDROPHOBICITY OF T4 LYSOZYMES Marcus David Collins, Ph.D. Cornell University 2006 While a great many protein structures are now known, considerably less is known experimentally about how these molecules reversibly fold and unfold into nearly unique, active structures. For more than 50 years, the central hypothesis has been that micro-scale phase separation between oil-like non-polar and charged or po- lar amino acid residues drives the formation of a “hydrophobic” protein core. A great deal of evidence supports this hypothesis, but the unfolding of proteins as a response to pressure contradicts it. A possible solution is the suggestion that pres- sure induced unfolding is a different process from thermally or chemically driven unfolding. Separately, little is known about the structural response of proteins to pressure, although pressure has clear and sometimes large effects on protein activ- ity and stability. For these reasons, we have chosen to study the cavity-containing mutant L99A of T4 Lysozyme, along with the wild-type protein, under pressures up to 2 kbar, a compression of about 0.1%. The protein is remarkably incompress- ible, and the presence of a cavity has almost no impact on the pressure response over the wild-type lysozyme. Instead, four water molecules cooperatively fill the cavity, interacting with each other and the protein roughly equally.
