Ribosome engineering to promote new crystal forms

Truncation of ribosomal protein L9 in T. thermophilus allows the generation of new crystal forms and the crystallization of ribosome-GTPase complexes.

Structure analysis of geranyl pyrophosphate methyltransferase and the proposed reaction mechanism of SAM-dependent C-methylation

The hexameric crystal structure of geranyl pyrophosphate methyltransferase in complex with bona fide substrate provides the first model of enzymatic C-methylation of an isoprenoid pyrophosphate.
