Ta6Br12 derivative, to 3.5 A resolution, space group C2221. The divergence of the type III from the type I and II GS enzymes is mainly due to differences in quaternary structure despite all the enzymes sharing a remarkably conserved active site fold.. The two hexameric rings of the GSIII dodecamer associate on the opposite surface relative to types I and II
