| Abstract: | Crystals of a complex between the antibiotic tetracycline and the trypsin-modified form of the Escherichia coli protein elongation factor Tu have been grown in a form suitable for high-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals belong to space group P2(1), with cell dimensions a = 69.7 A, b = 156.4 A, c = 135.4 A and beta = 95.3 degrees, and contain six molecules of the complex per asymmetric unit. The crystals are well ordered and diffract to a resolution of 2.3 A. |
