title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray study of haem-binding protein from the bloodsucking insect Rhodnius prolixus.
abstract: Rhodnius haem-binding protein (RHBP) from the bloodsucking insect Rhodnius prolixus, a 15 kDa protein, has been crystallized using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. X-ray diffraction data have been collected at a synchrotron source. The crystals belong to the space group P4(1(3))2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 64.98, c = 210.68 A, and diffract beyond 2.6 A resolution.
