  ABSTRACT  
 
The intensely sweet protein thaumatin has been crystallized at 293 K in the presence of sodium tartrate and 25%(v/v) glycerol for X-ray diffraction data collection at 100 K. A comparison of the three-dimensional structure model derived from a crystal grown in the presence of glycerol with that of a control deprived of this additive reveals only minor changes in the overall structure but a approximately 20% reduction in the number of water molecules. X-ray topography analyses show that the overall quality of the crystals prepared in the presence of this cryoprotectant is enhanced.

Figure 2.
Figure 2 X-ray topographs of thaumatin crystals prepared in the absence or presence of 15%(v/v) glycerol. The topographs were taken at the angular position corresponding to the maximum intensity of the (00l) reflection profiles. The dotted line is a trace of the reflector planes and g is the diffraction vector. (a) One of the best crystals that was grown so far in agarose gel under microgravity (FWHM = 10''); (b) a crystal grown on earth in solution under similar conditions but with 15%(v/v) glycerol (FWHM = 6.5'').

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
