Neutron and joint X-ray/neutron structures of macromolecules deposited in the PDB since 2010, including data collection details and crystallographic parameters for each. The structures are ordered in terms of the ratio of the crystal volume to the asymmetric unit volume, from lowest to highest. Those with the lowest ratios can be considered the most challenging. Highlighted in red is the study of HIV-1 protease with the antiretroviral drug amprenavir bound (Weber et al., 2013BB66) that has the lowest ratio of the crystal volume to the asymmetric unit volume. Highlighted in orange is the study of inorganic pyrophosphatase from Thermococcus thioreducens (I-PPase; Hughes et al., 2012BB31) that currently is the largest unit cell and asymmetric unit volume to be studied. Highlighted in blue is a study of rubredoxin from Pyrococcus furiosus (RdPf; Munshi et al., 2012BB50) that is the fastest data collection to date at 14 h. Highlighted in green is another study of RdPf (Cuypers et al., 2013BB16) which is currently the highest resolution study at 1.05 Å. Highlighted in purple are neutron cryo-crystallography studies performed at 100 K for cytochrome c peroxidase (MW ∼34 kDa) (Casadei et al., 2014BB11) and β-lactamase (MW ∼28 kDa) (Coates et al., 2014BB15), and highlighted in yellow are the studies of Cu nitrite reductase (MW ∼37 kDa) from Achromobacter cycloclastes (AcNiR) and cytochrome c′ (MW ∼14 kDa) from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (AxCytCp) presented here.
