Abstract: | Crystals of a cardiotoxin from Taiwan cobra venom have been obtained by the vapor diffusion method using methyl pentanediol as precipitant. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P6(1)22 (or P6(5)22), with cell dimensions a = b = 47.5 A, c = 111.3 A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees and gamma = 120 degrees and diffract to a resolution of 2.2 A. There is one molecule per asymmetric unit and the solvent content is estimated to be 53%. |
