| Abstract: | Crystals of D-glucose-6-phosphate: NADP+ oxidoreductase were obtained with the hanging drop, vapor diffusion and batch methods from ammonium sulfate-containing solutions. X-ray diffraction photographs indicate that the crystals belong to the orthorhombic space groups I222 or I2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions of a = 66.0 A, b = 140.8 A and c = 177.8 A. These data, together with results from sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and crystal density experiments, indicate that there is one 116,000 Mr dimer per asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 2.2 A and are suitable for X-ray crystallographic structure determination. |
