Abstact

The 1.8 Å resolution neutron structure of deuterated type III antifreeze protein in which the methyl groups of leucine and valine residues are selectively protonated is presented. Comparison between this and the 1.85 Å resolution neutron structure of perdeuterated type III antifreeze protein indicates that perdeuteration improves the visibility of solvent molecules located in close vicinity to hydrophobic residues, as cancellation effects between H atoms of the methyl groups and nearby heavy-water molecules (D2O) are avoided.
