Abstract: | Thioesterase II from rat mammary gland has been crystallized in the presence of decanoic acid by the vapor diffusion method. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121, and have cell dimensions, a = 52.7 Å, b = 78.0 Å, and c = 133.6 Å. The asymmetric unit likely consists of two protein monomers based on predictions from its calculated Matthews coefficient. Crystals typically diffract to at least 2.5 Å resolution and are suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
