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

The nature of the putative general acid, His187, in the reaction catalyzed by Escherichia coli uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) was investigated using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of H187Q UDG, and its complex with uracil
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed
An orthorhombic crystal form of subtilisin exhibits a systematic variation in growth rates of its three unique faces, resulting in pronounced morphology variations, depending on ionic strength. Several common salts cause a concentration-dependent change in

The structure of the tetradeca-(3-fluorotyrosyl) M1-1 GSH transferase (3-Ftyr GSH transferase), a protein in which tyrosine residues are globally substituted by 3-fluorotyrosines, has been determined at 2.2 resolution. This variant was produced to study
