Crystallization and preliminary structural analysis of the giant haemoglobin from Glossoscolex paulistus at 3.2 Å

Diffraction data to 3.2 Å from crystals of the 3.6 MDa erythrocruorin from a Brazilian earthworm represent the highest resolution reported to date for similar complexes. An unambiguous molecular replacement solution shows the particle to belong to the type I class.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Schistosoma mansoni in complex with ribose-1-phosphate

A binary complex between a low-molecular-weight purine nucleoside phosphorylase and ribose-1-phosphate is described for the first time and comparisons with known ternary complexes are drawn.
