New crystalline forms of neuraminidase of type B human influenza virus.
New crystalline forms of tetrameric neuraminidase heads from two strains (B/Lee/40 and B/mem/89) of type B human influenza virus were obtained and the crystals diffracted using X-rays to 2.5 A resolution without lattice disorder. The new B/Lee/40 crystalline form is tetragonal, space group P42(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = 123.8 A, c = 71.8 A. The B/mem/89 crystalline form is also tetragonal, space group I422, with unit cell dimensions a = 122.9 A, c = 164.4 A. There is one neuraminidase monomer per asymmetric unit in both forms.
