title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of water channel AQP1.
abstract: Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), a water channel from bovine red blood cells has been deglycosylated, purified to homogeneity and crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray crystallographic study. Crystals are grown using polyethylene glycol as precipitant and belong to the tetragonal space group I422, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 93.4, c = 180.4 A. The crystals diffract beyond 2.2 A resolution.
