title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the catalytic domain of Cex, an exo-beta-1,4-glucanase and beta-1,4-xylanase from the bacterium Cellulomonas fimi.
abstract: Single crystals of the catalytic domain of Cex, an exo-beta-1,4-glucanase and beta-1,4-xylanase from the cellulolytic bacterium Cellulomonas fimi, have been grown in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4000 using the vapour diffusion technique. The crystals, which diffract to better than 2.0 A resolution, belong to space group P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2 and have cell constants: a = b = 88.21 A, c = 81.10 A; alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees.
