Abstract: | Diffraction-quality crystals of the bifunctional enzyme fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase:fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase from rat testis have been obtained. The crystals were grown in the presence of ATP gamma S, fructose 6-phosphate, the detergent n-octylglucoside, and the precipitant polyethylene glycol 4000. The crystals have the symmetry of the trigonal space group P31/221 with a = b = 83.0 A and c = 130.6 A. Flash-frozen crystals diffract to beyond 2.2 A, and native data have been collected. |
