The paper reports the structure of the small laccase from Streptomyces coelicolor determined from a crystal soaked with potassium hexacyanoferrate [K4Fe(CN)6]. The decolorization of the natively blue crystal observed upon soaking indicates the reduction of the enzyme in the crystal. The ligand binds between laccase molecules and stabilizes the crystal. The increased diffraction limit of the diffraction data collected from this crystal enabled the refinement of the small laccase structure at 2.3 Å resolution, which is the highest resolution obtained to date.
该论文报道了通过用铁氰化钾[K4Fe(CN)6]浸泡的晶体确定的天蓝色链霉菌小漆酶的结构。浸泡后观察到天然蓝色晶体的脱色表明晶体中酶的还原。配体在漆酶分子之间结合并稳定晶体。从该晶体收集的衍射数据的衍射极限提高,使得能够在2.3 Å分辨率下精修小漆酶结构,这是迄今为止获得的最高分辨率。
