Platelet factor 4. Crystallization and x-ray diffraction studies.
نویسنده
چکیده
Human platelet factor 4 was crystallized with ammonium sulfate. The crystals were orthorhombic, space group P21212, with unit cell dimensions a = 78.7 A, b = 80.6 A, and c = 54.6 A. Unit cell volume and mass of the protein (7800 daltons) indicated four or five molecules in each asymmetric unit cell.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human plasma platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase.
The plasma form of the human enzyme platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) has been crystallized, and X-ray diffraction data were collected at a synchrotron source to a resolution of 1.47 A. The crystals belong to space group C2, with unit cell parameters of a = 116.18, b = 83.06, c = 96.71 A, and beta= 115.09 degrees and two molecules in the asymmetric unit. PAF-AH functions as a ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of the platelet integrin recognition segment of the fibrinogen gamma chain obtained by carrier protein-driven crystallization.
We have developed a method for crystallizing small functional protein segments so that their three-dimensional structure can be determined by x-ray diffraction analysis. This method consists of linking a small protein segment of unknown tertiary structure to either the amino or carboxyl terminus of a larger carrier protein of known tertiary structure. Crystallization of the small segment is the...
متن کاملStudies of fatty acid composition, physicochemical and thermal properties, and crystallization behavior of mango kernel fats from various Thai varieties.
Mango kernel fat (MKF) has received attention in recent years due to the resemblance between its characteristics and those of cocoa butter (CB). In this work, fatty acid (FA) composition, physicochemical and thermal properties and crystallization behavior of MKFs obtained from four varieties of Thai mangoes: Keaw-Morakot (KM), Keaw-Sawoey (KS), Nam-Dokmai (ND) and Aok-Rong (AR), were characteri...

In-situ investigation of phase formation in nanocrystalline (Co97.5Fe2.5)89Zr7B4 alloy by high temperature x-ray diffraction Crystallization and phase evolution in an (Co 97.5 Fe 2.5) 89 Zr 7 B 4 amorphous alloy was studied by high temperature x-ray diffraction (HTXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Co-based nano-composite alloys have zero magnetostriction and a strong response to ...
متن کاملRecent Insights into the Crystallization Process; Protein Crystal Nucleation and Growth Peculiarities; Processes in the Presence of Electric Fields
Three-dimensional protein molecule structures are essential for acquiring a deeper insight of the human genome, and for developing novel protein-based pharmaceuticals. X-ray diffraction studies of such structures require well-diffracting protein crystals. A set of external physical factors may promote and direct protein crystallization so that crystals obtained are useful for X-ray studies. App...
