Application Comment Organism
medicine urate oxidase is used to reduce toxic urate accumulation during chemotherapy Aspergillus flavus

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
crystals of about a few tens of micrometres in size, which is nucleated previously in crystallization batch containing 5% PEG 8000, 100 mM NaCl, 8 mg/ml uox-substrate complex and 100 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5, are used as seeds and their size and quality are further improved using a temperature-control device, large crystals of Uox, co-crystallized with its substrates analogues 8-azaxanthine, 9-methyluric acid or the natural substrate in the presence of cyanide (0.5-2 mg/ml), and soaks with the natural substrate in the absence of cyanide, diffracting to high resolutions are obtained, in the presence of different inhibitors, the crystal form of Uox has a body-centred orthorhombic symmetry and one of the largest primitive unit-cell volumes (a: 80 A, b: 96 A, c: 106 A) Aspergillus flavus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
