title: Thermophilic alcohol dehydrogenase from the mesophile Entamoeba histolytica: crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization.
abstract: The tetrameric NADP(+)-dependent secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Entamoeba histolytica has been crystallized in its apo form. The crystals belong to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 76.89, b = 234.24, c = 96.24 A, and diffract to 1.9 A at liquid-nitrogen temperature. Analysis of the Patterson self-rotation function shows that the crystals contain one dimer per asymmetric unit.
