The hyperthermophilic archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus contains an L-Ala dehydrogenase (AlaDH, EC 1.4.1.1) that is not homologous to known bacterial dehydrogenases and appears to represent a previously unrecognized archaeal group of NAD-dependent
This document resulted from a request at an International Atomic Energy Agency Consultants' Meeting. Information is based on a document Foundationsand future of detection and quantification limits prepared for the 1996 Proceedings of the Joint Statistical

Non-substrate interactions of thrombin with fibrin play an important role in modulating its procoagulant activity. To establish the structural basis for these interactions, we crystallized PPACK-inhibited thrombin in complex with a fragment, Eht

Alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon A. fudgidus is a dimer of 35 kdal chains. The gene (AF1665) is annotated as an ornithine cyclodeaminase based on homology with the ornithine deaminase/ mu crystallin enzyme family. It

Polymer interdiffusion near the polymer/solid interface is studied using neutron reflectometry. Bilayers of hydrogenated polystyrene (hPS) and deuterated polystyrene (dPS) or hydrogenated dicarboxy terminated polystyrene (hPS(COOH)2) and dPS are prepared

Crystals of the enzyme RNase S were grown at micro and unit gravity using a dialysis-based dynamically controlled device. Crystals were grown at 24 C on space shuttle flights STS 93 and STS 95. Control crystals were grown simultaneously in ground

The bacterial protein encoded by the gene ychF is 1 of 11 universally conserved GTPases, and the only one whose function is unknown. The crystal structure determination of YchF was sought to help with the the functional assignment of the protein. The YchF

The ycdX gene of Escherichia coli encodes the protein of 27 kDa molecular weight that belongs to the PHP superfamily of proteins that have diverse functions. This superfamily includes several types of DNA polymerases (namely the a-subunit of bacterial DNA

A hypothetical protein encoded by the gene YjeE of Haemophilus influenzae was selected as part of a structural genomics project, for X-ray analysis to assist with the functional assignment. The protein is considered essential to bacteria since the gene is
The Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database (BMCD) archives crystallization data from published reports for all forms of biological macromolecules that have produced crystals suitable for x-ray diffraction studies. The information includes the

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the single worldwide repository of structural data of biological macromolecules. This paper describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information, and near-term

Quality data collection for macromolecular cryocrystallography requires suppressing the formation of crystalline or microcrystalline ice that may result from flash-freezing crystals. Described here is the use of lithium formate, lithium chloride, and other

This report investigates the effect of DNA length and the presence of an anchoring group on the assembly of pre-synthesized oligonucleotides at a gold surface. The work seeks to advance fundamental insight into issues that impact the structure and behavior
Observations of systematic variation in the shapes of protein crystals have unique potential to report chemical effects on protein-protein interactions, because diffraction can be used to image the detailed structure that links an easily controlled cause
An orthorhombic crystal form of subtilisin BPN' variant s88 exhibits a systematic variation in growth rates of its three unique faces, resulting in pronounced variations in crystal morphology as a function of the ionic strength. We have sought to explain

Clorismate pathway enzymes are important as producers of nonnucleotide aromatic compounds. The enzyme chorismate layase from Escherichia coli has been crystallized in four distinct forms, three of which have been characterized by x-ray diffraction. Despite
