چکیده
Trichosanthin (TCS) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) which possesses rRNA N-glycosidase activity. TCS has various pharmacological properties. It is possible to reduce the antigenicity of TCS by deleting up to seven C-terminal residues of TCS (TCS-C7) with minimal effect on its activity. TCS-C7 has been crystallized and the crystal diffracted to 1.8 A. It belongs to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=71.6A, b=74.4A, c=87.6A, beta=97.0 degrees. It is given that there are four molecules per asymmetric unit.

In this paper, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of human carnitine acetyltransferase are reported. Recombinant human carnitine acetyltransferase crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method and belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 137.65, b = 84.76, c = 57.65 A and one molecule per a...
متن کاملProduction, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray structural studies of adeno-associated virus serotype 5.
Adeno-associated virus serotype 5 (AAV5) is under development for gene-therapy applications for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. To elucidate the structural features of AAV5 that control its enhanced transduction of the apical surface of airway epithelia compared with other AAV serotypes, X-ray crystallographic studies of the viral capsid have been initiated. The production, purification, crys...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of IMP-18, a class B carbapenemase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Class B β-lactamases are known as metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and they hydrolyze most β-lactams, including carbapenems. IMP-18, an MBL cloned from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was overexpressed, purified and crystallized by vapour diffusion for X-ray crystallographic analysis. Preliminary X-ray analysis showed that the crystal diffracted to 2.4 Å resolution and belonged to the tetragonal space group...

متن کاملProduction, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of adeno-associated virus serotype 8.
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are actively being developed for clinical gene-therapy applications and the efficiencies of the vectors could be significantly improved by a detailed understanding of their viral capsid structures and the structural determinants of their tissue-transduction interactions. AAV8 is approximately 80% identical to the more widely studied AAV2, but its liver-transducti...
