Chloroperoxidase from the fungus Caldariomyces fumago has been crystallized in two space groups, C222(1) and P2(1)2(1)2(1) both of which are suitable for high-resolution X-ray studies. Parent data sets have been obtained to 2.16 A in space group C222(1) and 2.00 A in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Heavy-atom derivatives have been obtained with both forms and electron-density maps calculated. The heme has been located and continuous electron density between the heme and protein clearly indicates the location of the proximal ligand.
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.
