title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization of rat liver acyl-CoA oxidase.
abstract: A recombinant form of the flavoenzyme acyl-CoA oxidase from rat liver has been crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique using PEG 20 000 as a precipitating agent. The crystals grew as yellow prisms, with unit-cell parameters a = 71.05, b = 87.29, c = 213.05 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees. The crystals exhibit the symmetry of space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and are most likely to contain a dimer in the asymmetric unit, with a V(M) value of 2.21 A(3) Da(-1). The crystals diffract to a resolution of 2.5 A at beamline BL6A of the Photon Factory. Two heavy-atom derivatives have been identified.
