Abstract

Information on the preparation and characterization of heavy-atom derivatives of protein crystals has been collected, either from the literature or directly from protein crystallographers, and assembled in the form of a heavy-atom data bank (HAD). The data bank contains coordinate data for the heavy-atom positions in a form that is compatible with the crystallographic data in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank, together with a wealth of information on the crystallization conditions, the nature of the heavy-atom reagent and references to relevant publications. Some statistical information derived from the data bank, such as the most popular heavy-atom derivatives, is also included. The information can be directly accessed and should be useful to protein crystallographers seeking to improve their success in preparing heavy-atom derivatives for the methods of isomorphous replacement and anomalous dispersion. The World Wide Web address of HAD is http://www.icnet.uk/bmm/had.
