Neurotoxin-1 from Naja naja oxiana venom (NTX-1) has been crystallized by vapor diffusion in sitting drops. The crystals have cell dimensions of a = 25.2 A, b = 75.6 A, c = 35.9 A, and are in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Three-dimensional data to 1.9 A have been recorded by a Syntex P2(1) automatic diffractometer. The atomic structure of the toxin has been determined by molecular replacement using the alpha-cobratoxin (alpha-CTX) as the search model. The position of 534 non-hydrogen protein atoms have been determined. The model contains 65 water molecules. Refinement has led to an R-factor of 19.3% at 1.9 A resolution. The secondary and tertiary structures of NTX-1 have been analyzed and a comparison with structure of the alpha-CTX has been made.
来自中亚眼镜蛇毒液的神经毒素-1（NTX-1）已通过坐滴气相扩散法结晶。晶体的晶胞参数为a = 25.2埃，b = 75.6埃，c = 35.9埃，属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1)。已使用Syntex P2(1)自动衍射仪记录了分辨率为1.9埃的三维数据。该毒素的原子结构已通过以α-眼镜蛇毒素（α-CTX）为搜索模型的分子置换法确定。已确定了534个非氢蛋白质原子的位置。该模型包含65个水分子。在1.9埃分辨率下精修得到的R因子为19.3%。已对NTX-1的二级和三级结构进行了分析，并与α-CTX的结构进行了比较。
