IYCr crystallization series
Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of N-acetylmannosamine kinase from methicillin-resistant S. aureus, a novel antibiotic target within sialic acid catabolism, are reported.
IYCr crystallization series
Diaminopimelate decarboxylase catalyses the last step in lysine biosynthesis: the decarboxylation of meso-diaminopimelate to form the essential amino acid S-lysine. Here, the crystallization of the two putative diaminopimelate decarboxylase isoforms from Arabidopsis thaliana, DapDc1 and DapDc2, are reported; the crystals diffracted to beyond 2.00 and 2.27 Å resolution, respectively.
