title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the low molecular weight phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase from bovine heart.
abstract: Two crystal forms of bovine heart phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase (BHPTP) have been examined by X-ray analysis. One crystal form grows as long rods with triclinic crystal symmetry and diffracts to 3 A resolution. The diffraction pattern of this form of the crystal shows twinning about a major axis. A second crystal form of BHPTP grows as flat trapezoidal prisms with monoclinic symmetry C2, and unit cell parameters a = 95.3 A, b = 43.3 A, c = 41.2 A and beta = 113.5 degrees. The unit cell dimensions indicate that there is one 18 kDa molecule per asymmetric unit. These crystals diffract to at least 2.2 A resolution and are resistant to decay in the X-ray beam.
