Phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a key enzyme in glycolysis. Single crystals of NAD-dependent GAPDH from Escherichia coli have been obtained by vapour diffusion at room temperature using trisodium citrate as precipitant. In almost the same crystallization conditions, two kinds of crystals were found to be suitable for X-ray diffraction. The crystals with only one half of a tetramer in the asymmetric unit were chosen for highresolution analysis. They belonged to space group C2221, with cell dimensions a = 79.1, b = 189.6 and c = 122.2 A. These crystals diffracted to 1.8 A resolution.
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.
