Preliminary crystallographic studies on hammerhead ribozymes.
Crystallization of hammerhead ribozymes was tried by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. The crystals grown up to 0.5 x 0.05 x 0.05 mm3 in size gave diffraction patterns with about 5 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal was determined to be trigonal with space group P3(1) or P3(2) and cell parameters a = b = 49.6 A and c = 53.3 A.
