Tyrocidine A was crystallized from 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol and water, or methanol, to yield crystals that are large enough for X-ray diffraction studies. Four crystals were examined; three were in equilibrium with mother liquor and the fourth was air-dried. They belong to the rhombohedral space group R32. Parameters of the hexagonal cell of the fully solvated crystals vary slightly and are approximately . The asymmetric unit consists of one molecule of tyrocidine and several molecules of 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol. Air-dried crystals appear to contain about half the number of solvent molecules. Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data showing a maximum resolution of have been recorded. 相似文献

Conditions have been established for the crystallization of tyrosyl-transfer RNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus at room temperature. The crystals are extremely well-ordered, exhibiting diffraction spots out to at least 2.7 Å, and can be grown to a convenient size for X-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystals are trigonal with a space group P3121, the unit cell having dimensions of and ; the crystallographic asymmetric unit is probably one subunit of the dimeric (2 × 45,000, mol. wt) enzyme. The enzyme crystals are extremely stable and exhibit good resistance to radiation damage. This amino-acyl-tRNA synthetase appears to be amenable to complete structure determination by X-ray crystallography. 相似文献

The orthorhombic crystals of l-asparaginase from Escherichia coli A-1-3 KY3598 were characterized by the X-ray diffraction method as belonging to the space group P21221 with unit cell dimensions . The crystals contain one half of the tetrameric enzyme molecule per asymmetric unit, the smallest so far reported for this enzyme. Preliminary analysis of the Patterson map indicated that the molecule had at least pseudo 222 symmetry and established the position of the centers of the molecules in the unit cell. 相似文献

Single crystals of d-ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase from tobacco leaves, Nicotiana tabacum (variety Turkish Samsun), have been examined by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and optical diffraction. Twelve molecules are loosely packed into a body-centered cubic unit cell, space group I4132 with cell dimension . The asymmetric unit is one quarter of a molecule, and the minimum molecular symmetry is 222. This symmetry when combined with estimates of the two subunit masses and stoichiometry is compatible with a molecular structure of the composition L8S8 (L is large subunit, S is small). If all bonds between large and small subunits are equivalent, the true molecular symmetry is 422; this symmetry is consistent with molecular images in micrographs. 相似文献

Crystals of crambin, a plant seed protein of molecular weight 5000, diffract X-rays strongly to the interplanar spacing limit of 0.88 Å. These diffraction data should allow a definition of atomic structure that is on a par with that typically obtained from crystals of small organic molecules. The crystals are in space group P21 and have unit cell dimensions . The asymmetric unit contains one protein molecule. 相似文献

A tetragonal crystal form of horse spleen apoferritin and its relationship to the cubic modification
Horse spleen apoferritin has been crystallized as tetragonal plates and needles with a unit cell with . The space group is P4212 and the unit cell contains two molecules in a pseudo-body-centred arrangement. The intensity distributions and calculated rotation functions of tetragonal and cubic crystals have been compared. The symmetry of the diffraction patterns from cubic crystals indicates that the molecules have 432 symmetry with their 4-fold axes lying along the cube axes. In the tetragonal crystals one molecular 4-fold axis lies parallel to c, the unique axis, while the rest of the molecular point symmetry is not used by the lattice. Instead the remaining 4-fold axes of the two molecules, which lie in planes perpendicular to c, are rotated ± 17.5 ° with respect to the tetragonal a axis. The finding that apoferritin reassembled from subunits can be crystallized in both tetragonal and cubic forms confirms its conformational similarity to native molecules. 相似文献

Further details are given of crystals of glutamine synthetase prepared from Escherichia coli. Crystals of two kinds have been observed: (1) rhombic dodecahedra which correspond to the morphology of the crystals studied by Eisenberg et al. (1971) (and which were found by them to contain dodecamers), and (2) rhombohedra, reported here. Cell dimensions and packing considerations led to the consideration of two possible structures for the rhombohedral crystals. These we have called the “T = 7 structure” and the “B.C.C. structure”. The T = 7 structure would be related to that derived by Eisenberg and would contain dodecamers, but is inconsistent with our X-ray intensity data. The B.C.C. structure is considered more probable. It is built of cubic octomers or square tetramers. Electron micrographs of our glutamine synthetase preparations show a wide variety of aggregates, including dodecamers and tetramers. The unit cell dimensions of our crystals are , and . The Laue symmetry group is m P31. 相似文献

Erysimum latent virus, a tymovirus, contains 180 protein subunits arranged in a T = 3 icosahedral surface lattice. A cubic crystal form (with space group P213 and ) and a monoclinic form (space group B2, ) have been observed. The asymmetric units of the two crystal forms contain one-third and one whole virus particle, respectively. Two possible packing arrangements of the virus particles in the monoclinic unit cell have been deduced from the low-angle diffraction patterns. X-ray diffraction data from the monoclinic crystals extend to at least 3·7 Å resolution. 相似文献

An electron diffraction study was carried out on thin single micro-crystals of l-type and dl-type dipalmitoyl lecithins grown in xylene suspensions and fine net patterns were obtained and the mechanism of the thermotropic phase transitions of them was clarified.From the apparent structure of diffraction patterns in low temperature, it is confirmed that the two dimensional lattices have p mm symmetry in l-type and in dl-type lecithins. Lattice parameters from the [001] projection are and in l-type, and and in dl-type.With anisotropic variation of dimensions along a and b axes, i.e. contraction for a and expansion for b, induced by temperature rise by electron irradiation during the observation, these diffraction patterns of the lattices of l-type and dl-type were transformed into those characterized by the six diffraction spots having nearly the same spacings. Four of them are observed on slightly outer and two are slightly inner positions as compared with their mean spacings of about (4.1 Å)?1 in l-type and about (4.2 Å)?1 in dl-type. The changes in the patterns observed indicate that at low temperatures the hydrocarbon chains are nearly perpendicular to the layer in dl-type lipid, and tilted with a more complicated packing in l-type ones. The dimension along a in dl-type is twice as large as that in l-type. 相似文献

Wheat germ agglutinin crystallizes in two monoclinic space groups, P21 and C2, under identical crystallization conditions. Unit cell dimensions are for for C2, both with eight subunit molecules in the unit cell. The C2 crystals were chosen as suitable for investigating the three-dimensional structure to high resolution, because of their smaller asymmetric unit (containing the dimer), and also because they display better diffraction patterns. 相似文献

A “naturally occurring” human κI VL dimer, designated Wat, has been isolated and crystallized. Protein Wat consists of two non-covalently bound monomers, each having a molecular weight of ~ 11,500. The monomer subunit is composed of an entire variable region light chain (VL) domain closely homologous to that of the κI Bence Jones protein Roy (Hilschmann &; Craig, 1965) as evidenced from amino acid composition, tryptic peptide map, and sequence analysis. Immunochemical studies substantiated that protein Wat is of the κ chain subgroup κI and lacks the isotypic and allotypic antigenic determinants associated with the κ constant region light chain domain. Two types of crystals of VL dimer Wat were obtained from ammonium sulfate or polyethylene glycol solutions. The type I crystals have unit cell dimensions of , and the space group is hexagonal P62 or P64. The asymmetric unit consists of one VL dimer; the fractional volume of unit cell occupied by solvent is 0.51. The unit cell dimensions of the type II crystals are ; the space group is hexagonal P6122 or P6522. Three variable domains constitute the asymmetric unit of the type II crystals; the fractional value of the solvent (0.52) is compatible with the value obtained for the type I crystals. 相似文献

The lectin from the seeds of Abrus precatorius has been crystallized and the crystals subjected to study by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Three closely related crystal forms were obtained, of orthorhombic space group P212121 with , , and , of tetragonal space group P41212 with , , and a twinned intermediate of the first two. From electron microscopy and two-dimensional spatial filtering of electron micrographs of the crystals, the molecule appears to consist of four similar domains grouped in a roughly planar diamond-shaped arrangement having a local intramolecular dyad axis. The average diameter of the Abrus lectin molecule is 50 to 60 Å and the individual domains appear to have a diameter of about 25 Å. 相似文献
