title: Purification, crystallization and preliminary x-ray diffraction analysis of carboxyhaemoglobin-II from the fish Piaractus mesopotamicus (pacu).
abstract: Carboxyhaemoglobin-II isolated from the pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) has been crystallized and X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.0 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. Crystals were characterized as belonging to the space group I23; preliminary structural analysis reveals the presence of one dimer in the asymmetric unit.
