Abstract:

eRF1a, one of the class-I release factors from ciliate Euplotes octocarinatus, has been crystallized by the vapor-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant at pH 7.5. The crystal belongs to space group P2 1 and the unit-cell parameters are a=90.4, b=107.9, c=114.8Å, bgr =94.2°. There appear to be four eRF1a molecules in the asymmetric unit.

More about this publication?

Protein & Peptide Letters publishes short papers in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, drug design etc. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallisation, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins are acceptable. Purely theoretical papers are also acceptable provided they provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function.
