Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
crystallization of precursor protein and active form, at 2.4 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. In the precursor, the inactivation region is found on the protein surface and consists of a flexible loop followed by a long alpha-helix. Presence of this region diminishes both the interaction with ribosome and cytotoxicity, but not cellular uptake. The active site of the enzyme is too small to accomodate two glutamate residues | Zea mays |
