Abstract:
Cell-wall invertase 1 (AtcwINV1), a plant protein from Arabidopsis thaliana which is involved in the breakdown of sucrose, has been crystallized in two different crystal forms. Crystal form I grows in space group P3(1) or P3(2), whereas crystal form II grows in space group C222(1). Data sets were collected for crystal forms I and II to resolution limits of 2.40 and 2.15 A, respectively.
