Abstract
|
|
|
Bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V, which is an excision-repair enzyme specific to
pyrimidine dimers within DNA, has been crystallized from polyethylene glycol
4000 solution by a vapour diffusion technique. The unit cell is monoclinic,
space group P2(1), with unit cell parameters: a = 41.4 A, b = 40.1 A, c = 37.5
A, beta = 90.01 degrees. The unit cell contains two 16,000 Mr molecules. The
crystals diffract X-rays beyond 2.3 A resolution and are suitable for structural
analysis at high resolution.
