Abstract
|
|
|
Crystals of the title protein have been produced and preliminary structural
analysis has been carried out. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space
group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 258.1, b = 340.1, c = 266.5 A. The
protein forms a 24-mer of 20 kDa subunits, which assemble with 432
non-crystallographic symmetry. A total of 36 monomers are found in the
asymmetric unit, corresponding to one and a half 24-mers.
