title: Preliminary x-ray investigation of an orthorhombic crystal form of human plasma albumin.
abstract: An orthorhombic form of single crystals of human plasma albumin, suitable for x-ray diffraction studies, has been grown with ammonium sulfate from protein solutions purified from fresh frozen single donor plasma as well as from a commercial sample of plasma albumin. The space group is P2(1)2(1)2 with 12 molecules in the unit cell. The cell dimensions are: a = 133.3 +/- 1.2 A, b = 274.8 +/- 3.3 A,, and c = 58.02 +/- 0.02 A.
