X‐ray exposure during crystallographic data collection can result in unintended redox changes in proteins containing functionally important redox centers. In order to directly monitor X‐ray‐derived redox changes in trapped oxidative half‐reaction intermediates of Paracoccus denitrificans methylamine dehydrogenase, a commercially available single‐crystal UV/Vis microspectrophotometer was installed on‐line at the BioCARS beamline 14‐BM‐C at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, USA. Monitoring the redox state of the intermediates during X‐ray exposure permitted the creation of a general multi‐crystal data collection strategy to generate true structures of each redox intermediate. |
