Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human dihydrodipicolinate synthase-like protein (DHDPSL)

A human enzyme, DHDPSL, which is homologous to bacterial pyruvate-dependent aldolases but of unknown function, has been expressed, purified and crystallized with the use of in situ proteolysis. The crystals diffracted to 2.0 Å resolution and were suitable for structure determination.
