Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of mitochondrial short-chain delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase from rat liver.
Crystals of short-chain delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (EC 5.3.3.8) from rat liver mitochondria have been grown using the hanging-drop vapour diffusion technique. The enoyl-CoA isomerase is an auxiliary enzyme in the beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acid metabolism, and catalyzes the isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids to produce the metabolizable delta 2-trans isomer. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions a = 47.9, b = 118.4 and c = 164.8 A, and diffract to 3 A.
