Crystals of the 60 kDa dimeric HincII restriction enzyme bound to a 12 base-pair dyad-symmetric duplex DNA carrying the specific 5′-GTCGAC recognition site have been obtained. Crystals grew by hanging-drop vapor diffusion from solutions containing polyethylene glycol 4000 as precipitating agent. The rod-shaped crystals belong to space group I222 (or I212121), with unit-cell dimensions a = 66.9, b = 176.7, c = 256.0 Å. There are most likely to be two dimeric complexes in the asymmetric unit. A complete native data set has been collected from a high-energy synchrotron source to a resolution of 2.5 Å at 100 K, with an R merge of 4.8%.

Crystals of the Escherichia coli UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide D-Ala-D-Ala-adding protein (MurF), which catalyzes the formation of the last metabolite of the bacterial cell-wall building block, have been grown in hanging-drop vapor-diffusion trials using PEG 8K as a precipitating agent. The crystals belong to hexagonal space group P61 or P65, with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 74, c = 425 Å. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules, with a crystal volume per protein mass (Vm ) of 3.4 Å3 Da−1 and a solvent content of about 64% by volume. A native data set to 2.8 Å resolution has been obtained from a frozen crystal using a synchrotron X-ray source.

6-Phospho-α-glucosidase (GlvA) is the protein involved in the dissimilation of α-glycosides accumulated via a phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent maltose phosphotransferase system (PEP-PTS) in Bacillus subtilis. The purified enzyme has been crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. Thin rod-like crystals have been grown by the hanging-drop method in the presence of manganese and NAD. They diffract beyond 2.2 Å using synchrotron radiation and belong to the space group I222 (or its enantiomorph) with unit-cell dimensions a = 83.26, b = 102.56, c = 145.31 Å and contain a single molecule of GlvA in the asymmetric unit.

RNase Sa, an extracellular ribonuclease produced by Streptomyces aureofaciens, is inhibited by barstar, the natural protein inhibitor of barnase, the ribonuclease of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The complex of RNase Sa with wild-type barstar was crystallized by hanging-drop vapour diffusion. It was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis that RNase Sa and barstar are present in equimolar proportions in the crystals. The crystals are in the hexagonal space group P65 with unit cell dimensions a = b = 56.95, c = 135.8 Å. They diffract to 1.7 Å resolution at the DESY synchronton source. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the complex.

Golgi mannosidase IA is a class I α-mannosidase which catalyzes the conversion of Man9GlcNAc2 or Man8GlcNAc2 oligosaccharide substrates to Man5GlcNAc2 during the maturation of Asn-linked oligosaccharides. The enzyme is a type II membrane protein, and a recombinant form of mannosidase IA from mouse, lacking the transmembrane domain, has been expressed in Pichia pastoris, purified to homogeneity and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. The crystals grow as thin rods, with unit-cell dimensions a = 54.9, b = 135.01, c = 69.9 Å. The crystals exhibit the symmetry of space group P2221 and diffract to 2.8 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit contains one monomer (∼53 kDa) and has a solvent content of 59%.

HORF6 is a member of the novel antioxidant enzyme family found in humans. A recombinant form of hORF6 expressed and purified from E. coli has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method using various PEG's as precipitating agents. HORF6 crystallizes in two different monoclinic space groups, P21 and C2. The P21 crystals have unit-cell dimensions of a = 47.85, b = 75.17, c = 63.30 Å and β = 110.21° and contain two monomers per asymmetric unit, while the C2 crystals have unit-cell dimensions of a = 165.27, b = 95.44, c = 166.44 Å and β = 128.97° and contain more than six monomers per asymmetric unit. The P21 crystals with the smaller unit cell diffract X-rays better and behave well for the X-ray analysis. A native data set from a single crystal of the P21 space group gas been collected to 2.0 Å resolution.

The Rhizobium meliloti DctD two-component receiver domain was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Crystals were obtained using the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion geometry with ammonium phosphate as the precipitant. The crystals diffract to 2.3 Å and exhibit the symmetry of space group I222 or I212121. The unit-cell dimensions are a = 59.0, b = 58.6 and c = 169.8 Å. The asymmetric unit contains a dimer and the crystals have a Vm of 2.16 Å3 Da−1.

The primary receptor (PotF) of the putrescine transport system in E. coli has been crystallized by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion technique. The crystals belong to the space group P21212 with unit-cell dimensions a = 269.4, b = 82.33 and c = 93.74 Å. The crystals diffract beyond 2.2 Å with a rotating-anode X-ray source. A complete data set from the native crystals has been collected and processed at 2.3 Å resolution. Two heavy-atom derivatives have been prepared from the same Pt compound at 293 and 277 K. The difference Patterson maps revealed completely different major heavy-atom sites between these two derivatives.

Crystals of Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) have been grown by the hanging-drop technique using polyethylene glycol as the precipitant at 293 K. Over a period of one to two weeks the crystals grew to maximum dimensions of 0.10 × 0.05 × 0.02 mm. The crystals belong to space group P6322, with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 63.3, c = 105.2 Å and Z = 12 identical monomers of Mr = 13 kDa, aggregating into two 78 kDa hexameric protein molecules per unit cell, each with symmetry 32 (D 3). The diffraction pattern extends to 3.6 Å at 293 K.

Recent work has shown that Scilla campanulata agglutinin from bluebell bulbs has a strong affinity for α(1,3)- and α(1,6)-linked mannosyl residues and possesses moderate antiretroviral activity. This lectin has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion complexed with the disaccharide mannose-α1,6-D-mannose. The crystals are in the space group P21212 with unit-cell dimensions a = 70.63, b = 92.79 and c = 47.25 Å, and with a dimer in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract X-rays to beyond 1.5 Å resolution at 277 K and are stable in an X-ray beam. Data to 1.6 Å resolution have been collected using a MAR image-plate system at a synchrotron source and the structure of the complex has been solved by the molecular replacement method.
