d-Phenylglycine aminotransferase (d-PhgAT) catalyzes the reversible transamination of d-phenylglycine to l-glutamate with 2-oxoglutarate as the amino-group acceptor. Crystals of substrate-free Pseudomonas stutzeri d-PhgAT bound to the cofactor pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals belong to space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 75.155, c = 147.554 A. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of d-PhgAT and has a solvent content of 50.0%. A complete native X-ray diffraction data set was collected from a single crystal at 100 K to a resolution of 2.3 A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
