title: Purification and crystallization of the endoglycosidase PNGase F, a peptide:N-glycosidase from Flavobacterium meningosepticum.
abstract: The endoglycosidase peptide: N-glycosidase, secreted by the Gram-negative bacterium Flavobacterium meningosepticum (PNGase F), has been isolated, purified to homogeneity and crystallized from polyethylene glycol solutions using vapour diffusion and seeding techniques. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions a = 85.07 A, b = 85.14 A, c = 48.50 A, and are suitable for high resolution X-ray structure analysis.
