The 1.35 Å structure of cadmium-substituted TM-3, a snake-venom metalloproteinase from Taiwan habu: elucidation of a TNFα-converting enzyme-like active-site structure with a distorted octahedral geometry of cadmium

The high-resolution crystal structure of a snake-venom metalloproteinase (SVMP), TM-3, was solved, which appears to have a stronger resemblance among the known structures of SVMP to the crystal structure of catalytic domain of TNF-converting enzyme (TACE).

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a D-aminoacylase from Alcaligenes faecalis DA1

The first D-aminoacylase crystal from A. faecalis has been obtained in hanging drops at pH 5.6 by the vapour-diffusion method using 30% polyethylene glycol 4000 as precipitant.
