title: Crystallization properties and structure of Panulirus interruptus haemocyanin.
abstract: Electron-microscopic studies revealed that two types of subunits of Panulirus interruptus haemocyanin crystallize in different ways. Homohexamers of subunit a give close-packed two-dimensional crystals whereas homohexamers of subunit c form open two-dimensional arrays. We applied computer-image analysis to these arrays and studied the differences in crystallization properties by combining the electron-microscopic data with amino acid sequence information and the X-ray diffraction model of subunit a.
