Research Abstract |
In order to study the reaction mechanism of enzymes and photoreaction mechanism of proteins on the basis of the three dimensional structure, time resolved Laue method using synchrotron radiation is the most suitable technique. We newly designed time resolved Laue camera in the cooperation with the member of Engineering Research & Scientific Support Center of KEK and constructed it. The most prominent feature is that this camera has the moving mechanism of imaging plate cassette and the primary beam is chopped by the rotating slits to get more accurate integrated intensity than the streak type camera. Time-resolved Laue photographs were taken with omega-aminoacid:pyruvate aminotransferase crystal in BL6A2 at the Photon Factory. The crystal has broad absorption band at about 340nm and 410nm, the origin of which is the co- enzyme PLP. We observed profile and intensity changer in Laue diffraction caused by irradiation of the third harmonics(355nm) of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with ten millisecond time resolution and one millisecond exposure time.
