Figure 4
Solvent minimization. The signal-to-noise ratio [I/σ(I)] is plotted for the same thermolysin crystal at room temperature before solvent minimization (a), at room temperature after solvent minimization (b) and at 100 K (c). The room-temperature data sets consisted of 0.1° rotations with a duration of 0.2 s, with the X-ray beam attenuated by 97%. The 100 K data set consisted of 2.0° rotations with a duration of 2.0 s, using the full X-ray beam. The inset shows the 8 [\overline {23}] [\overline {20}] reflection after solvent minimization. The background integration box for this reflection had exactly zero observed counts for 60% of the pixels (so that the readout value was equal to the Pilatus 6M baseline of 1).
