title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the superoxide dismutase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
abstract: The iron-dependent superoxide dismutase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been crystallized by the hanging drop method. The crystals belong to the P2(1) space group and have unit cell dimensions of a = 68.5 A, b = 85.6 A, c = 66.5 A, beta = 99.8 degrees. There are four molecules per asymmetric unit which, from analysis of data to 2.5 A, appear to be related by non-crystallographic 222 symmetry.
