Abstract
Single crystals of methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 have been grown by the vapour diffusion method. These crystals diffract to beyond 2 A resolution and are suitable for X-ray crystallography. They belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and have the following unit cell parameters: a = 66.79 A, b = 108.9 A, c = 188.9 A. One asymmetric unit contains an alpha 2 beta 2 tetramer of MDH and the location of the non-crystallographic 2-fold symmetry axis of this tetramer is defined by the paired positions of the binding sites of heavy atoms in four MDH-derivatives.
