title: Preliminary X-ray crystallographic data for a myotoxin from Agkistrodon contortrix laticinctus (broad-banded copperhead) venom.
abstract: A Type II phospholipase A2 myotoxin from Agkistrodon contortrix laticinctus was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. The protein had only myotoxic activity. X-ray diffraction quality crystals were obtained by the hanging drop vapour diffusion method from a crystallization solution containing 2.0 M ammonium sulphate. X-ray data were collected to a resolution of 2.3 A, and the crystals are fully characterized.
