Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method, crystal structures in open and closed conformations. A comparison of these crystal structures shows that upon UDP and UDPGlcNAc binding, the enzyme undergoes conformational changes involving a rigid-body movement of the C-terminal domain | Methanocaldococcus jannaschii |
