abstract = {Macromolecular crystallography (MX) and small-angle X-ray
scattering (SAXS) studies on proteins at synchrotron light
sources are commonly limited by the structural damage
produced by the intense X-ray beam. Several effects, such as
aggregation in protein solutions and global and
site-specific damage in crystals, reduce the data quality or
even introduce artefacts that can result in a biologically
misguiding structure. One strategy to reduce these negative
effects is the inclusion of an additive in the buffer
solution to act as a free radical scavenger. Here the
properties of uridine as a scavenger for both SAXS and MX
experiments on lysozyme at room temperature are examined. In
MX experiments, upon addition of uridine at 1 M, the
critical dose D1/2 is increased by a factor of ~1.7, a value
similar to that obtained in the presence of the most
commonly used scavengers such as ascorbate and sodium
nitrate. Other figures of merit to assess radiation damage
show a similar trend. In SAXS experiments, the scavenging
effect of 40 mM uridine is similar to that of $5\%$ v/v
glycerol, and greater than 2 mM DTT and 1 mM ascorbic acid.
In all cases, the protective effect of uridine is
proportional to its concentration.},
