Crystallization of the complex of actin with gelsolin segment 1

Crystals of a 1:1 complex between human gelsolin segment 1 and actin have been grown from solutions containing polyethylene glycol 6000. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1); the axes are a = 57.4 A, b = 70.4 A, c = 184.5 A. They are moderately stable to X-rays and diffract to beyond 2.5 A. There is one molecule of complex in the asymmetric unit.
