title: Preliminary crystallographic study of a ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase from Chromatium vinosum.
abstract: Crystals of a ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase from Chromatium vinosum were obtained with the hanging-drop vapor diffusion technique, using polyethylene glycol 4000 as precipitant. The crystal belongs to the cubic system, space group I432, with unit cell dimension a = 245.9 A. An asymmetric unit includes one-quarter (L2S2, L: large subunit, S: small subunit) of a hexadecameric molecule (L8S8, 544,000 Mr), which is located on the crystallographic point symmetry 222 or 4. The crystal diffracts to at least 3.0 A resolution.
