Dear Crystallographers,
I am looking for references which discuss the validity of the
assertion that multiple crystal structures of the same or similar
proteins can be considered freeze-frame snapshots of actual
conformations assumed in solution. In a way, the assertion seems
almost definitely true to me, but on the other hand, I could imagine
some objections as well. Seems there should be some classic literature
here...
How could that possibly be the case when any structure is an average of
all the unit cells of the crystal over the timespan of the diffraction
experiment?
