Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method, resolution 2.1 A, C-terminally truncated LeuRS (amino acids 1-810), crystals belong to the Rhombohedral space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 186.23 A, c = 91.45 A, alpha = beta = 90°, gamma = 120° for the native form and a = b = 185.8 A, c = 91.19 A, alpha = beta = 90°, and gamma = 120° for the SeMet crystal Pyrococcus horikoshii
