A macromolecular complex of human transthyretin, human retinol-binding protein and an anti-retinol-binding-protein Fab was crystallized by vapour diffusion in sitting drops. Diffraction from these crystals at cryogenic temperatures was consistent with the space group C222, with cell parameters a = 159.34, b = 222.40 and c = 121.27 A. Crystals diffracted to a resolution limit of 3.36 A using synchrotron radiation. Based on a 2:2:1 stoichiometry for the Fab-retinol-binding-protein-transthyretin complex and the presence of one such complex per asymmetric unit, a reasonable Vm coefficient of 2.74 A3 Da-1 could be estimated.
人转甲状腺素蛋白、人视黄醇结合蛋白和抗视黄醇结合蛋白Fab的大分子复合物通过坐滴气相扩散法结晶。这些晶体在低温下的衍射与空间群C222一致,晶胞参数a = 159.34、b = 222.40和c = 121.27 Å。使用同步辐射,晶体衍射分辨率极限为3.36 Å。基于Fab-视黄醇结合蛋白-转甲状腺素蛋白复合物的2:2:1化学计量比以及每个不对称单元存在一个这样的复合物,可以估算出合理的Vm系数为2.74 Å3 Da-1。
