Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human phosphoserine phosphatase

Phosphoserine phosphatase, a human enzyme involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, has been purified and crystals suitable for structural analysis have been obtained.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a novel pectate lyase from Azospirillum irakense

The preliminary X-ray crystallographic characterization of PelA from A. irakense is reported. This enzyme defines a new class of pectate lyases as it displays no homology to other bacterial, plant or fungal pectinases of known published structure.
