| Research Abstract |
A new diffractometer for protein crystallography (iBIX) at the next generation pulsed-neutron source at J-PARC, has been completed and operational since the end of 2008. After various commissionings, data collection of ribonuclease A could be done at the accelerator power of 120kW for a crystal of 5 mm3 in volume for about 10 days as the first protein sample at iBIX. As a result of structural analysis, hydrogen position and orientation of waters for a purpose could be confirmed. According to the result, it turned out that it is possible to collect a full data set of a protein in about 3 days for a crystal of 1 mm3 in volume when J-PARC accelerator power becomes 1MW and 30 detectors of iBIX are provided as a total as scheduled.
