Crystals of calmodulin complexed with both Ca2+ and melittin, a peptide from bee venom, have been grown from 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol solution by using the hanging drop method of vapour diffusion. The crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 97.3(9) A, b = 56.5(0) A, c = 33.4(9) A and Z = 4. Analyses of the dissolved crystals by high performance liquid chromatography show that the crystals contain a 1:1 complex of calmodulin and melittin. An asymmetric unit contains one such complex and the solvent content of the crystals is 47.5% (v/v).
已通过气相扩散悬滴法从2-甲基-2,4-戊二醇溶液中培养出与钙离子和蜂毒肽(一种来自蜂毒的肽)复合的钙调蛋白晶体。这些晶体属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),a = 97.3(9) Å,b = 56.5(0) Å,c = 33.4(9) Å,Z = 4。通过高效液相色谱对溶解的晶体进行分析表明,晶体包含钙调蛋白和蜂毒肽的1:1复合物。一个不对称单元包含一个这样的复合物,晶体的溶剂含量为47.5%(体积/体积)。
