Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of AAL-2, a novel lectin from Agrocybe aegerita that binds nonreducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine

AAL-2, an A. aegerita lectin that specifically recognizes nonreducing terminal acetylglucosamine, was crystallized and preliminary crystallographic studies were performed on this protein. This work provides a solid foundation for determination of the AAL-2 structure and illustration of the sugar-binding specificity of this novel lectin.

Expression, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic study of GluB from Corynebacterium glutamicum

GluB, a substrate-binding protein from C. glutamicum, was expressed, purified and crystallized, followed by X-ray diffraction data collection and preliminary crystallographic analysis.
