Crystallization and preliminary X-ray investigation of recombinant Lactobacillus leichmannii nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase.
Crystals of recombinant bacterial nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase have been grown from solutions of ammonium sulfate. The crystals are cubic, space group I23 or I2(1)3; the axial length is 151.1(2) A. The crystals are stable to x-rays for at least 5 days and diffract beyond 2.8-A resolution. It appears that the molecule, which is a hexamer, utilizes the symmetry of the space group, resulting in two or three subunits per asymmetric unit.
