title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the complex of the epsilon-subunit and the central domain of the gamma-subunit from the Escherichia coli ATP synthase.
abstract: A complex of the epsilon-subunit and the central domain of the gamma-subunit from the ATP synthase of Escherichia coli has been purified and crystallized and preliminary X-ray analysis has been carried out. The crystals belong to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 76.7, b = 176.1, c = 67.1 A (at 100 K). Determination of the structure of this protein complex promises to greatly improve the understanding of energy coupling between the F(0) and F(1) sectors within the enzyme complex.
