Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
native and selenomethionyl-iota-carrageenase. Single crystals are obtained with polyethylene glycol, and the presence of Ca2+ appears to be crucial for crystallization. High quality crystals, typically 0.25 * 0.25 * 0.15 mM in dimension are grown with 0.1 M sodium cacodylate at pH 6.5, 15-17% polyethylene glycol and 200 mM calcium acetate. Crystallization of Se-Met-iota-carrageenase is performed under similar conditions except for the addition of 1 mM dithiothreitol and the replacement of sodium cacodylate by imidazole to avoid the reaction between cacodylate and dithiothreitol.
