Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
structures of native MetE in complex with either Zn2+ or Cd2+, at resolution limits of 2.10 A and 1.88 A, respectively. The monomeric protein contains two domains, each containing a (betaalpha)8 barrel core, and a long alpha-helical segment spans the length of the protein, connecting the domains. Zn2+ bound in the C-terminal domain exhibits tetrahedral coordination with the side chains of His652, Cys654, Glu676 and Cys737 Neurospora crassa
