title: Preliminary crystallographic study of C-reactive protein from Limulus polyphemus.
abstract: Crystals of C-reactive protein from Limulus polyphemus have been grown both with and without calcium. The space group for the calcium-free crystals is I422 or I4(1)22, and the cell parameters are a = b = 173.33 (4) A, c = 98.81 (3) A. The crystals diffract to at least 2.8 A resolution and are suitable for detailed structural studies.
