title: Overexpression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies on a thermostable beta-glycosidase from Thermus nonproteolyticus HG102.
abstract: A thermostable beta-glycosidase (Tn-gly) from Thermus nonproteolyticus HG102 has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme, with a molecular mass of 48.9 kDa, was purified to homogeneity. It can hydrolyze a wide range of oligosaccharides and perform transglycosylation. Crystals of the recombinant enzyme were grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique with MPD and NaCl as precipitants. They belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 66.7, b = 94.6, c = 176.5 A.
