Single crystals of cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sterolicum containing a covalently bound form of the FAD cofactor have been obtained. The crystals are grown by vapor diffusion using the hanging drop technique from 12% polyethylene glycol, Mr 8000, and 75 mM MnSO4 as the precipitant at pH 5.2. In order to obtain large diffraction quality crystals, nucleation must occur at 22 degrees C with subsequent growth at 17 degrees C. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P21 with cell dimensions a = 78. 5 A, b = 126.7 A, c = 82.4 A and beta = 108.9 degrees with two protein molecules per asymmetric unit. Diffraction of these crystals has been observed to at least 2.2 A resolution and they are suitable for an X-ray structure analysis.
已获得来自短杆菌属的胆固醇氧化酶的单晶,其中含有共价结合形式的黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸(FAD)辅因子。通过悬滴法,以12%聚乙二醇(分子量8000)和75 mM硫酸锰作为沉淀剂,在pH 5.2条件下通过气相扩散法生长晶体。为了获得高质量的衍射晶体,成核必须在22℃下发生,随后在17℃下生长。这些晶体属于单斜空间群P21,晶胞参数为a = 78.5 Å,b = 126.7 Å,c = 82.4 Å,β = 108.9°,每个不对称单元中有两个蛋白质分子。已观察到这些晶体的衍射分辨率至少为2.2 Å,适合进行X射线结构分析。
