crystal structure of mutant N44Q/N47Q/N49Q/N68Q/N103Q is substantially identical to that of the wild type, and the substitutions of Asn to Gln are appropriate for the folding and structural analyses of this protein
crystallization data in complex with membrane bound lysozyme inhibitor of C-type lysozyme MliC. The invariant loop of MliC plays a crucial role in the inhibition by its insertion to the active site cleft of the lysozyme, where the loop forms hydrogen and ionic bonds with the catalytic residues
determinatipon of crystallization phase diagrams at pH 2.5, pH 6.0, and pH 7.5. At pH values below 4.5, the border between the metastable region and the nucleation region shifts to the lower precipitant concentration in the phase diagramm and at pH values above 4.5, the border shifts to higher precipitant concentrations. The qualities of crystals at different pH values are more or less equivalent
hanging drop method, crystals of native enzyme and enzyme in complex with various alcohols (ethanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-propanol or TFE). Although the alcohols have very little effect on the conformation of the overall protein structure, they profoundly affect protein hydration and disorder of the bound water. Increasing order of hydrophobicity of alcohols is directly proportional to the higher number of weakly bound waters in the protein
