“…Mn and Zn metal ions, which come from either protein copurification or the reservoir solution for crystallization, are two divalent metal ions frequently observed in the currently solved structures of Deinococcus proteins. Mn ions are found in the structures of RecJ [15] , RNase J [72] , MazG [73] , MntH [69] , and SodA [59] , and the structures of PprI [57] , RecO [74] , [75] , RecR [76] , [77] , RecQ [40] , DinB [78] , PolX [79] , Dps1 [66] , LuxS [80] , and several peptidases [81] , [82] contain Zn ions.…”
