Hydrogen atoms constitute about half of the atoms in proteins. Thus they contribute to the complex energy landscape of proteins [Frauenfelder, H., Sligar, S. G. & Wolynes, P. G. (1991) Science 254, 1598-1603]. Neutron crystal structure analysis was used to study the positions and mean-square displacements of hydrogen in myoglobin. A test of the reliability of calculated hydrogen atom coordinates by a comparison with our experimental results has been carried out. The result shows that >70% of the ...[more]
