Hi CCP4ers As requested I have compiled the list of responses I got regarding anions in protein structures. I did not receive a huge number (wrong time of day perhaps..) but I do think that the list below covers the various aspects (specific examples as well as various studies) and was very useful and interesting (thanks!).
In no particular order.... 1. Anion binding sites in protein structures.Chakrabarti P. J Mol Biol. 1993 Nov 20;234(2):463-82. 2. On the routine use of soft X-rays in macromolecular crystallography. Part IV. Efficient determination of anomalous substructures in biomacromolecules using longer X-ray wavelengths.
