Abstract

High resolution triple axis X-ray diffraction has been used to monitor the effects of X-ray radiation damage in hen egg white lysozyme crystals. At long irradiation the expected decrease in peak intensity and increase in the angular extent of the peak breadth was seen. In contrast, both the intesi-ties and peak breadths exhibited more complex behavior during the initial stages of irradiation. Possible reasons for these observations are discussed.
