“…However, these temperatures are of the greatest interest for understanding radiation-damage mechanisms because near T = 200 K the protein and solvent system undergoes a dynamical/glass transition (Parak et al, 1982;Doster et al, 1989;Weik et al, 2001Weik et al, , 2004Weik et al, , 2005Gabel et al, 2002). The present study was made possible by the methods and observations described in detail by Warkentin & Thorne (2009), which were in turn inspired by earlier investigations (Weik et al, 2001(Weik et al, , 2005Juers & Matthews, 2001Kriminski et al, 2002;Warkentin et al, 2006). Ice nucleation within protein crystals is strongly suppressed because the solvent is confined within a nanoporous network (Rault et al, 2003) and because much of the solvent is involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions with the protein.…”
