This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. At the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) we have been developing a three part process to enable medium-throughput virus structural studies. This includes; 1) the deactivation of whole virus particles, 2) crystallization and automated encapsulated mounting and, 3) high-throughput synchrotron data collection at ambient conditions. We propose to complement this crystallographic focused approach by conducting SAXS experiments on deactivated virus particles to characterize them, establish low resolution molecular envelopes, and profile them as a function of biochemical conditions (a precursor and useful guide to crystallization). Experience with high-throughput methods development, an industrial collaborator specializing in virus deactivation and purification, and raw computing power available at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute will be combined with a state-of-the-art beamline 4-2 and 96-well, platebased, small angle x-ray scattering expertise at SSRL. We will utilize solution x-ray scattering as a complementary, technique to aid us in obtaining valuable structural information.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 在 Hauptman-Woodward 医学研究所 (HWI)，我们一直在开发一个由三部分组成的流程，以实现中等通量病毒结构研究。这包括； 1) 整个病毒颗粒的灭活，2) 结晶和自动封装安装，3) 在环境条件下进行高通量同步加速器数据收集。我们建议通过对失活病毒颗粒进行 SAXS 实验来补充这种以晶体学为中心的方法，以表征它们，建立低分辨率分子包膜，并将它们描述为生化条件的函数（结晶的前体和有用指南）。 Hauptman-Woodward 医学研究所的高通量方法开发经验、专门从事病毒灭活和纯化的工业合作者以及原始计算能力将与 SSRL 最先进的光束线 4-2 和 96 孔板小角度 X 射线散射专业知识相结合。我们将利用溶液 X 射线散射作为补充技术来帮助我们获得有价值的结构信息。
