Human pancreatic alpha-amylase has been isolated using a glycogen affinity precipitation procedure and crystallized in a form suitable for high resolution three-dimensional X-ray crystallographic analyses. Crystals are of the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell dimensions of a = 53.04 A, b = 74.80 A and c = 137.34 A, and contain only one protein molecule per asymmetric unit. Diffraction data have been collected and found to extend to 1.6 A resolution. These studies form the basis for elucidating the full atomic structure of human pancreatic alpha-amylase and thereby providing insight into the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme.
人胰腺α-淀粉酶已通过糖原亲和沉淀法分离出来,并以适合高分辨率三维X射线晶体学分析的形式结晶。晶体属于正交空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),晶胞参数为a = 53.04 Å,b = 74.80 Å,c = 137.34 Å,每个不对称单元仅包含一个蛋白质分子。已收集到衍射数据,发现其分辨率可达1.6 Å。这些研究为阐明人胰腺α-淀粉酶的完整原子结构奠定了基础,从而有助于深入了解该酶的催化机制。
